Poem
THE OBA OF BENIN
THE OBA OF BENIN
He who knows not the Oba
Let me show him.
He has mounted the throne,
He has piled a throne upon a throne.
Plentiful as the grains of the sand of the earth are those in front of him.
Plentiful as the grains of the sand of the earth are those behind him.
There are two thousand people to fan him
He who owns you is among you here.
He has piled a throne upon a throne
He has lived to do it this year;
Even so will he live to do it again.
