 </div><p></p>When harmattan hammers you,<br>
You begin to shiver like a busy river,<br>
Your nostrils become block like an ice block,<br>
Your brain vanished to forlorn dreams,<br>
That’s when you begin to feel you’re lodging between the thighs of a dead temptress.
<p>When harmattan hammers you,<br>
You become a make up artist that start lacking customers,<br>
Mary-k become your worst enemy,<br>
You even give powder a breathing space,<br>
Even lip-sticks of various colour find themselves lost in truncated dreams,<br>
You start subscribing to wet-lips of forlorn dreams,<br>
Painting your lip with rub and oily cream.<br>
Wetting your lips like a clown who consumed<br>
Oily substance, and lost the thought of cleaning his mouth.</p>
<p>You become a female.<br>
Turning into amadioha with the way you bask in the thought of avoiding scraggy lips.<br>
Becoming gay while<br>
Wet lip made for lasses travels through your iced lips.<br>
Your face shiny with the amount of kernel oil you<br>
Plastered on it.</p>
<p>Your skin become feeble that it can tear at the slight of any scratch,<br>
like that of a decayed cat.<br>
Cold, fever, and catarrh<br>
Now become global visitors that visit the corridor of your abode<br>
Hot water you start making you regular bomboy.<br>
You don’t want to be flogged by cold water</p>
<p>When harmattan hammers you,<br>
Your sagacious mind<br>
Rings the bell of using protective measures.<br>
You began to massage your body with balm and palm.<br>
Your lips become brother to rub.</p>
<p>You always lodge beneath the sheet of bedsheets.<br>
Gigantic sweater you put on day and night,<br>
You refuse to lie unclad and lackadaisical.<br>
You even bribe nature to be kind to your skin,<br>
While you multiply the number of pyjamas you wear at night<br>
And jump into the arms of blanket with big skirt.</p>
<p>Your lips begin to develop<br>
Potholes and zebra crossing,<br>
Your lips create punchlines of poetic rhymes and rhythms.</p>
<p>Your nostrils become stiff to sniff.<br>
Yet flush out watery and thick catarrh as fountain gush out water<br>
Your palms become Strong and you become a prisoner to<br>
British song</p>
