Who Is Better Than My Jaja Poem by Olusanya Anjorin

I fondly remember my Jaja
That was loyal to me in all ways
And earned my respect
In all aspects

At seeing me taking
My gun, arrows, and cutlass
He began a growl in happiness
It is rare to see Jaja outclassed

I talked to my Jaja
As if I am talking to my friend
Oh, my companion that is always there for me
At the battle of waterloo, it met its end

I fondly remember my Jaja
That died after an attack by the wounded chimpanzee?
But still managed to tear off its side
The chimpanzee destroyed everything I held dear

I have lost a companion
That I constantly remembered
How we walked and talked
In the forest, my operation now encumbered

At times my wandering dog
Sniffled away chasing all sorts of animals
And I only had to whistle
If I thought its behavior was abnormal

Now it is gone
I am still alive
But not better than my Jaja
Willy-nilly we shall meet in the hive.
