Charley.. Amazing we go
Adafienu, Denu, ViePe,
Our Boarding house...
Denu, Tokor, our classrooms...
Adafienu boys, the treatment, their swag..
Denu Boys the left over of Adafienu glory days,
Viepe the mixture of boys and girls,
The Bus….mostly faulty ,
Zogbor…the driver,
Ragazo… the conductor..
Move,Move, Carry yourselves, He’ll say…
And so Boys carry Boys, girls carry girls and boys carry girls,
But never the opposite…
Charlie, Amazing We go

F.K, the cane, our backs..
Fear the cane when it is in his Hands,
Bend down, hold your toes or your palm,
My best friend, shadow, left after stage 5 cos of his strokes,
Old soldier and his collection of Vocabs..
On his belly buttons, His trousers jors with the swag of pimpinis..
Mon Ami, Denu wash room’s general super Indendent..
Mamanye, Tokor compus’general overseer..
Bro,Simon, His Waakye, Dzidudu’s boys boys Kanzo Unit..
Nufiala Adetor, form three, you have to attend his extra classes and pay that coins, or you’ll fail his papers.
Charley..Amazing We Go..

And Gazorp will look u from top to down and say "So did you pay for that one================== too...

Charley: Amazing we go

Grand Pa, Mr. Tehoda always wild and his fingers pointing..
Head of Teachers Disciplinary committee at the time, Timber, lives in the present but always talk in the past
“When I’m in the class teaching and I saw you talk again, I will came over there and lashed you”. One of his most typical expressions
Zikpokpo, I bet you can’t tell the difference between the Red Tokor Soil, and his favourite white camboo.
Want to Pass his Agric papers..It’s either AAAAA, Or BBBB or CCCC, the best marking scheme ever, RIP Milotual.
Monsieur Abalo, he never goes no where without his cane..
Interestingly even the most feeble will take staygger for even his best lashes

Dining time, the meals and the dwoe Pla..
No need to rush if you are friends with girls that share the food,
Or in my case if your big sis is very popular.
*******
Here is to those times in the dining hall when the meal is not ready and we have no choice than to wait,
Oh how the dining hall becomes a circus for boys will be spinning their plates at the tip of their fingers.
Some turn themselves into drummers with their spoons and knifes as their drum sticks, the table as the base drum, the silver plates as the cymbals and the gossip of the girls cacophonously rhyming as songs.
Charley: Amazing we go

Here is to the days when the bus will spoil and wouldn’t show up on time. How both juniors and seniors will struggle to be on board the last bus,
For that comes with it’s own trophies,
especially  when the bus had to go drop off the boys at Denu before sending the mixture to Viepe
    Here is to the days when the bus arrives at Tokor and at the gate is F.K.
Oh how quickly our shots get pull up and the girls make up get wiped off.
To the days when you arrive only to find students hovering at the gate, You as and the response you get is school fees..
Oh how all pretend we are owing so we could roam in town
Yet some deliberately stay so they could get more "doe pla" dining  meal
*******
My ear still hurts as the result of the powerful sound from Mr. Alex’s kiosk as he mention some of Amazing love’s most largest families,
Binyam #1,#2, #3, #4,#5,#6,#7…and Kissward #1,#2,#3, #4,#5, #6,#7,..to wait was it 12 or 15
Charley, Amazing We Go

That sound effect when the plate or spoon drops in class and all you hear is…Boarders. Beautifully you can only relate to this if you passed through Tokor(J.H.S), I don’t now but for some reason, the classrooms never had cement floors, just like Tokor never had Mr.Alex’s kiosk
"Charley, Amazing We Go
******
We all had to wait for our turn..or queue up in a file...
Break time, Dining time, Closing time,
even boarders and day students turn to board the bus...
in this school i learnt one must wait his turn in life,
more importantly to book your place while waiting...
And so..
even Toilet..you'll hear student's 'Shouting Out Loud',
"I'm After You"
..Charley...Amazing We Go..."
Less than two weeks to the Launch, don't miss this.
Let’s rise up, build up and restore..
Now no b  the time we for they live on past glories,
We chop glories before, We chop trophies before, We chop achievements before
Individually, we are carving names for ourselves and leaving our footprints on the sands of time, like Amazing Love taught us.
To Hold Fast To What Is Good.
Charley, Amazing We Go

Here is to 30 years of Education,
Of the hassle in setting up a school,  Of the stormy and sunny days
Of the challenging and interesting moments
Here is to 13th June 1986, when  the seed of Amazing Love was planted,
So positive fertile was the soil that it’s leafs sprout from 13 pupils to covering over 84 pupils that same year.   They were in deed great farmers, Mr. Albert and Mrs. Fortune Lily Agbodo..In a small town geographically located at a GPS of 6.0958257 latitude and 1.1520964999999705 longitude.
Now we can boast of Nursery, kindergarten, Primary, Junior High and Senior High..With my very eyes I watch as the later started…

From toddlers, to graduates to adults, From lawyers to pastors to rappers
From scientists, to journalists, to artists and entertainers

My year 2009, 183 students graduated. The year before was more..
Others are too huge keeping those figures will cause the last Gigabytes of my memory crushing.
Let the world listen, Graduating over 20 batches of students,
With an average of 100 students per annum..
This is the Re-union and Thanksgiving, Let’s come together…
Let’s brainstorm and be informed. On How best we can  restore our school
I’m part of Alosa, She’s part of Alosa, He’s part of Alosa, they are part of alosa, you, you and you are all part..
