THE IMMORTAL ELEVEN
I know a team,
Enigma to rival teams, Terror to weaker ones, Tis the immortal eleven.
I know a team, A lion in display,
Yet embodiment of order- Heaven’s prime decree, Tis the immortal eleven.
I know a team,
That like the tornado, Will the coal city take By storm,
Tis the immortal eleven.
And thou sweet be eleven If in the school we over Flow with joy.
If in the streets we are Consumed with pride. The gift is yours,
Oh team immortal.

MATHS “MY PIT FALL”
Maths! I salute you
What brought you into this world I do not know
You are a despair
which I shall not take lying down.
But who would have thought you so mischievous
when in the elementary school
I thought you were all one plus one.
But years advanced and you advanced with it
must I continue to suffer from insomnia
Dreaming and thinking of you continue to reduce my courage
I wish I could drop you but you are so important that one can’t do without.
You are a challenge to my person to accept for sure I must.

THE GOLDEN LAND
There is a place for disciplined Children. Somewhere at Owerri town.
A place which never changes, whose love will never die.
Our neighboring schools may fall us and change with changing years this place is always worthy of what dear name – Ogssian she bears
There is Education for disciplined Children somewhere at Owerri town.
And all who look for Education shall wear the badge of Ogssian.
A badge of brightest glory which she will then bestow
on those who found her favour and loved her name.
There is a school for us all somewhere at Owerri town where discipline reigns in glory.
A school of peace and joy no school on earth is like it Nor can with it compare for everyone is happy.
Nor could be happier there.
