The Elephants’ Conference

By Isaac Karikari (bkkarikari@yahoo.com)

The NPP lost a limb

And now appears to be in a limbo.

This faction; that faction

Each takes away a fraction

Sadly, to the party’s destruction

If it persists, in no time they will lose,

Their lot and their portion.

Rid your house of every mouse.

Smoke the moles out of the holes.

Off to the conference they march,

Pundits predicting an awesome match.

When Alan feted MPs

It was a nice gesture,

But some worried about his posture

Had he started his campaign

With some champagne?

On Nana’s part

It was nothing but mockery

When we heard of the thuggery

His boys muscling and mauling others.

From this conference,

Will they come out, gaping holes in their cloth,

Or all their differences in a patch?

Will this conference begin the stride,

That will restore the elephants’ pride?

From the NDC’s congress-

Its Before and its After,

There are lessons to glean

But on everything do not lean.

Be discreet as you take a cue.

I offer you a clue:

If you are in distress,

Will you grab a mattress?

And if you are seeking a sanctuary,

Will you try out a mortuary?

It’s however true that there are places,

Where money does not reign,

He who is sovereign,

Is the one with powder.

He is the one with power.

Off to the conference they march

On this match right before March

All eyes are fixed.

Will they come out strong,

And prove some wrong?

Or …………………………….?
