[Poem] My Rolls Royce Phantom



My bathroom is the best washing bay 
Come and let me wash your body today 


My hand and my tongue will be the duster 
I will be your mate and you will be my master 


I connect with you like Bonwire and the Kente weaver 
And I love it especially when I have to take the seat as a driver 


After brightening you up 
I want to heat you up 


Open your bonnet and let me inspect the 6.75-litre V12 engine 
Water level and lubricants, making sure they are all clean 


Just mere sight of your interior 
Makes me feel superior 


Another thing that I love about you is the shape of your headlamp 
It complements your body like rice in a swamp 


Your lights brights like the sunshine 
And the sound of your horns is like 50 vuvuzelas times nine 


Not to talk of your back axle and your wheels 
Driving on a 21 inch chrome rims with yokohama tires, you know how it feels 


2011 model centenary collection bespoke 
This is no joke 


This car was actually customize by God 
Because apart from money, a normal person cannot afford 
I love you 


And I know a lot of guys are dying to take a ride in you 
You know I hold the keys to the heart of you, my dear car 
So please can I ignite you now? I promise i will not go far 
As I start, ta whe whe whe.. 
The sound from the car, hm, so smooth... hehehe hehehe 


Wow, she has a very good starter 
she has petrol engine and doesn't need a heater 


I have taken control 
Just about to roll 


I adjusted the seat 
And stretched my feet 


I shut the door and rolled up my windows 
For where I'm going and when I am coming back only God knows 


I embark on a trip from Spintex road to Tantra hills 
Exhibiting my driving skills 


I drove faster, slow down, faster, meandering my way through the traffic 
Driving through the night with no road blocks is just fun-tasti-c 


I am not a rough Ryder or the Formula 1 champ Michael Schumacher 
But I know my role in this movie and I play it well like Tom Baker 
She is one the reason why Somali pirates hijacked the Russian tanker 
Since I had her, in Ghana, I have become a policy maker 


And I humbly take that pride 
Because politicians want to have her on their side 


I can confidently say, Kennedy Agyapong you got her older sister or her replica 
Because they are twins and she is the only one in Africa 


She is relatively heavy and has stability 
From Accra to Nakpanduri, she has the ability 


At 5350 rpm, she produces 453 horsepower 
And in just 5.7 seconds, her power-plant propels me to 60 miles per hour 


She has got class 
She has my autograph embossed on her like I'm Antonio Banderas 
And anytime I park her in a public place 
People just bow to me like I am the new Otumfuo from the Manhyia palace 
From the time I took possession of her, no engine troubles 
And by far, the best item talking of convertibles amongst my collectibles 


She knows when to change her outlook when we are on the road 
And in the boot, my rubber socks is the only load 


35 years warranty like Prez Kuffour and Theresa's marriage 
The price is the only disadvantage 


Economically, she is difficult to manage 
Because of her, I see my old girlfriend Mercedes as a garbage


In Nigeria she turned a lot of politicians into robbers 
And in Ghana, a number of business men have become drug dealers 


She is technologically advance 
She is originally from England, but has siblings in Germany and France


Anytime she leaves my washing bay, I find it difficult to concentrate 
Everywhere she goes, she sparks a debate 


Even though i know she will be safe, she is sleek, reliable and capacious, 
She is also comfortable to be with, very attractive and very spacious 


In the midst of a million, if I have to choose at random 
I will choose the Roll Royce Phantom.
