hello good day
better and better thank you
at banwari our motto is we can make it happen
trini literacy rate
is ninety eight percent
like de congo man
personally
i never eat a white meat yet
so standing near de river mouth
with bus up shut and cow heel soup on a menu
anaconda is not a food
we talk of walter raleigh's humor
when he pitch his boat
an' like tourists week by week
on de waters of de swamp
we watch de scarlet ibis' sleek
forms rouge dat island peak
doubles we eat
an' goti swallowed true
so now you ask whether trini cultyour
is safe and right for you
wid de yankee dollar knowin'
one han' cyar clap for de brown skin gyul
an' yellow shots be needed
foutie i recommen' free up
carnival's close wid de rum shops open all hours for dose
you feelin' bravé-dangé
i'm sure if you come in me parlour
you will have a life-changin' time
if you no step on me corn
an' water more dan flour
David Ritchie,
not in
