Human Brain Like Crane, a poem by Professor Ikechukwu Benjamin Ezeohagwu
Human brain like crane,
will, drill, mill.
Human brain like pain,
stunted, grunted, hunted.
Human brain like rain,
flowing, glowing, throwing.
Human brain like vain,
slain, frail, stain.
Human brain like train,
healthily, wealthily, steadily.
Human brain like wain,
tread, thread, treadle.
Human brain like strain,
confused, diffused, suffused.
Human brain like fain,
sow, grow, wow.
