The game

He: Do you know what your man was doing where he is?

Enjoy your life with me so that you don’t lose out

She smiled and walked away

But then his words like the serpent’s whispers got to her

“Why can’t I have fun too?”

It wouldn’t be cheating if I catch my fun while he was not here

She really needed to be less uptight

Guys were so unreliable

Before you know it he will dump you

The next time she saw him she softened her stance

It was just this guy

He seemed really interested

He held her hand

She didn’t flinch

He wondered what had happened

Then he held her by the waist

She sank into him

His head went “Here is my chance”

He began to plot

He invited her to his room

Drew her closer

She was in

He planted a kiss

She responded

Oh Jackpot! He had hit the treasury

He undresses her

She wilted there

He lighted the dynamite

Kaboom!

He was done and he wanted her gone

But she wanted to cuddle, she wanted to linger

He stood, irritated but restrained himself

There were other mountains to climb

He had climbed Idanre

It proved a hill

She left

He didn’t call back

He didn’t check on her

She called and he was brisk

Like ‘What do you want’

She sank into the mud and wallow

She had cheated on her man and I felt so silly

He told his friends

Of course she wouldn’t sleep with any of them

But his friend had a friend who had a friend

He wasn’t a part of their circle

He heard she was game for A

A was no better than him

He determined to try his luck

She prayed

“O God, send me a guy who will care’’

He came and tried his luck

He listened to her, took her out, seemed like a nice guy

God answered her prayers!

He took his time didn’t rush

She saw a girl looking at him

She had to tie him down lest he got distracted

She went to him offered herself

He took her hooks. Line and sinker

He lingered unlike the one who broke her

But then he saw a different quest

And the cycle continues

She lingered to stake her claim but he had moved on

‘Men are scum’ became her slogan

And the cycle continues

Yet she didn't learn

This is the parable of the broken feminist

Who made an enemy of all men

She wanted to play monopoly

Ended up playing snooker

And became just one of many holes
