• The Time Fashion Failed Me Woefully

    When my shoes made me fall down in the presence of my enemies!

    Written By:

    So I had a party to attend one day.

    Gbedu!!

    And I heard some of my enemies would be in attendance.

    Yes oh! All those bad belle people!

    So I decided I would show them that I am chopping life and living well!

    Enemies will never win!

    That’s how I squeezed myself inside one dress and did my make up

    Looking like take away!

    When I got there I was ready to show myself.

    Baddest

    So I entered the dance floor with style.

    With all pomp & pageantry!

    And started breaking it down.

    Hot stepper!

    I was giving them “notice me moves”.

    Yes. Look at me!

    I even did some of my Michael Jackson moves.

    Kimmon!

    Everybody loved it. They even started clapping for me!

    “Wow! See moves! Ahn ahn!”

    Then I spotted my enemies from across the room looking at me with envy.

    I see you looking at me!

    So I decided to go and say “hello”.

    “So how are you bad belle people this fine day?”

    As I was walking towards them, one of my heels broke!

    Enemies at work oh!

    And before I knew it I was on the floor.

    AH! Somebody look at these people’s handwork!

    From the floor I could hear my enemies laughing!

    After all my planning look at life oh!

    To reduce my shame I pretended to faint and waited till an ambulance came to carry me away.

    Yes oh! So I should stand up in front of all those people abi?

    Since that time whenever I see any of those enemies they look at me like:

    Laughing like hyenas.

    I don’t even know what was funny I almost died oh!

    But for the grace of God go I!

    But I will still show them sha!

    Because I am badder than!
