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.
