Behold!
A sage and a wise one
as he marks his birth at eighty one
O! I will tell the tale to everyone
that a gem and a pen wizard is eighty one
Happy birthday Professor
who delivered us with pen from the oppressors
Nigerian icon and a words doctor
to medieval poets, BaBa ( daddy) is our great mentor
Pardons sir! as I pronounced your name
Wole Soyinka, an icon with pen to get the fame
O! your golden pen flow flawless and flew like flame
O! what a patriotic father who delivers African from shame
Professor and a trenchant
writer
who fought and conquers the Africa looter
he took part in a war, Soyinka is a fighter
a fighter without sword but with pen that is mightier
BaBa with awe i pay homage
as your wittiness witticism free Nigeria from hostage
O! what a freedom as Africa is free from bondage
BaBa verily, with your legacy, we I'll tread your footage
Long life to a pen wizard
whose pen on a press up like resting lizard
prosperous prosperity to you without hazard
O! I Pray no wizard shall conquer our icon as he himself a
pen wizard.
