Hey guys, I came up with an anthem for the company:
we are up with finacle
with our finacle we experience miracle
with finacle there is no obstacle
we be the best among the rest cos we 've got the muscle
no hassle
even in the face of sliding tackle
we are a force with great tentacle
we move with great speed cos we got no shackles on our ankles
we spread around the globe like a sprinkle
even at that we still stick together like a Bundle
oh lah lah lah lahhhh ole kokokokokoko

Not asked him officially yet, but rhyming is not hard compared to writing satirically. If he can do satire articles, I would love him for life (ok, maybe love him once per article). But I doubt, he wants to go into music and he’s got dancing skills too, but I will ask him now sha.

But with HUMILITY TY TY TY TY TY TY OOOOOOOOOOOOYAH
Checking out ur F-FACTOR
The colour day make me wanna be an INTERACTOR

Picking up offer like a waste COLLECTOR
Until I contact my INVESTIGATOR

@ronke and debisi,
Anybody can write,
Not everyone can write right,
Or write tight,
Or write for u to see d light.
It’s not about taking up a pen and writing,
U need to make sure d words got meaning.
Like a samurai to his sword,
So is a writer to words,
If given a chance?
Can he kiss words and make them dance?
It’s not about crowing,
Or blowing.
D words must b able to tease senses.
But still have d right tenses.
I still believe he is a one minute rhymer,
Won’t last as a word-smith all time slayer.
@Blue Blood,
Dust me?
He can’t even reach me.
Na by dat pattern?
Guy, he go just flatten.
