Beyond Talks

Tall tale touches throats,

And talkative talk stalks,

Spins in the speakers’ speeches.

They traded silent blabs of brethren,

While smiling to their generous mischief.

The grievous gifts of styles

Ignites the flair of sisters’ excited giggling,

Singing the sweet-stale gossips of Saboba, Sankase,

Sandema, Santrokofi, Santasi, Sankori, Savelugu, Sakasaka,

 Saviefe, Sunyani, Sekonde which suckles the lips of Senchi and Sakumono.      

But beyond talks of thoughts,

Beyond the traces of tongues,

Beyond the trumps of talkers,

The tickling thrills still touches

The thatches of Tatale,

The trees of Tamale,

The traps of Tapa,

The tubers of Tokroanu,

The trades of Takoradi,

The tames of Tema,

While the talks of Tanokrom

Travels to Tutukpene and Tefle,

All trekking the talks of talks.
