To the lady in the tax office
To the lady at the tax office (in Aguda):
You give me hope for Nigeria
You give me hope for Nigeria
Thank you for being

helpful
attentive
polite
patient
friendly
(and pretty too)
I have never seen your kind before
Not in civil service
Not in civil service
Where dusty, clustered offices become
rowdy market places
You're a breath of fresh air
You are lovely to behold
You symbolise hope
and a future
for this terrifying country
You almost make it up to me
For all the half-baked
rude
uncouth
down-right illiterate
workers
I have come across
at CAC offices
in courts
during my service year
What a blessing you are
What a beauty you are to behold
Hello Ibiene,
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I enjoyed reading this well written post, it was bursting at the seams with graceful appreciation.
Now I'd like to meet this lady at the tax office. :-)
Hello, Nedoux
DeleteThank you for stopping by! Indeed, I was so grateful she was the one who attended to me that day. A breath of fresh air! :)
