Mabogunje

My Grandfather The Greatest of All Time I knew you were a big deal Long before I wrote this rhyme I knew you were a big deal Long before I saw the signs Of a man made legend Well ahead of the times I remember when I heard you Set yourself apart By telling me the Televi Was an idiot box for start- ers And I remember that I thought it was so true 90% of what we watch has no educational value And later on you won awards For this, that, and the other You never even puffed your chest Despite all you had discovered You never even asked for me To show you some respect You told me we were family And blessed my cheeks with pecks Then you wrote a book That told me all about your days It was for me an epiphany In many different ways First of all I got to know That your path was one you chose And becoming great was no mistake A man reapeth as he sows Yes, you were gifted But you still put in your best You went to school to learn the tools Now you’re better than the rest So dear
