Oro pelu late
No ịgba Timo
Wa ni kere
Won or oorde kan
Ti won ba pe
Baba mi
Ina gije
Ti wan finpe ni
"Af 'eniyan
mụ ịma soro"
Alarmed at the nickname
given to his late father
And also given to him
He was compelled
to visit his father
to learn about the meaning of
"Afe niyan mu Iman sọrọ " or
"A peniyan mimo soro"
Meaning "using mortal influence
to derive wisdom "
This oracle of words
was quite puzzle
That he had to inquire
The hazy meaning
Of the puzzling word
and was shuddered
And the old man saith:
"Oro pelu itumo
Eni bá bere oro,ofe dị Igbo"
And the old man retorted
,furious incantation."
