Stride Home With Dignity & Integrity
By Professor Jerry Komia Domatob
There comes an inevitable call
For each and all
Summoning folks to eternity,
The penultimate fraternity
So the bell rang bang, bang, bang
For Professor Lai Oso’s big exit bang
Gallantly leading him to Heaven
Now his novel and precious haven
A renowned mass communicator
He outshined as an educator
An inspiring orator
Dr. Oso reigned as a facilitator
An admirable teacher
He inspired as a researcher
An ace administrator
He motivated as a top doctor
Professional of astute diligence
He towered for intelligence
Renowned and respected academic,
Dr. Oso shunned vain polemic
Dr. Oso’s broad vision
Empowered as his mission
A grand motivator
He stimulated as an activator
A shrewd leader
Many revered as an elder
Dr. Oso’s facilitation
Reduced futile friction
Bye beloved Dr. Oso, editor
Writer and administrator
Journalist, scholar and helper.
Travel with fortitude
Farewell till we meet again!
