AMBASSADOR SEGUN OLUSOLA:
A TRIBUTE

OUR VILLAGE HEADMASTER
A Village needed a new headmaster
The series’ creator made us a grandmaster
I remember Kabiyesi’s mechanical laugh
And when he “swags” to his throne bent in half
I forget not Chief Eleyinmi’s flowing regalia
Something that can never be made in Italia
Who would dare Councillor Balogun, Chief Antagonist
When he beats his chest and dares the protagonist
With Chief Dagbolu, his fellow conspirator
Breathing in the palace would require a respirator
What would the episodes be without “Amebo’s” roles
There had to be a radio without battery rolls
Teacher Garuba, the grumpy
His ambitions would always make him jumpy
“Gorimapa,” Sisi Clara, Doyin
Made the series more glowing
Screen characters that cannot all be quantified
Childhood memories that cannot be qualified
I do miss The New Village Headmaster
Its creator, a former embassy headmaster
He who had to play god
With Oja village and its mud
Passes on to the great yonder
His life, a beautiful wonder
Of which posterity ponders
Can we duplicate his wonders

Our Village Headmaster
