I LOST MY FOE

Sitting on the fence without a stitch on,
With one leg in one leg out
Don’t think I am between Scylla and charybdis,
I was just wondering and pondering
About my experience in the Peloponnesian war
400bc I saw Achilles fight with so much enthusiasm
How I wish you were there to see the zeal
Displayed by my “young” Socrates against the shopkeeper (sophist),
How young was he then? Pellucid!
I lost my foe

Hence, I mingle with the baby Plato,
Not the counterfeit this time!!!
I mean the pukka and kosher Plato.
Watching him display his brilliancy at school
Teaching the young Aristotle
How I wish you were there to see his avidity.
How mischievous were the sophists,
They try tampering with our heritage and but it abate
With so much skeptical questions
I lost my foe.
Here I am today,

I have lost that spirit of fervency
For I have lost a sage...Dipo
The spirit of Dipo is sagacious…Dipo
He showed his prudency to all
What a wonderful friend we pine for.
(These are the word of the tactless human)
I lost my foe!!!
