“Free Food”

By

The Jamaican eateries not doing business anymore,
‘Cause people just want “free food” when dem cum at de door,
Dem taste a likkle bit a dis, an a likkle bit a dat,
Den dem sey de food sour a throw it wey at de drop of a hat,
If dem was a buy one frock,
Would dem wear it an tek it back?
Den why play up in a de food
Den sey it bad?
Things are so expensive nowadays,
Companies can’t afford to have giveaways,
“freeness” promotes for a while,
Den it’s time to pay the bills,
A livelihood only saves the day
When accompanied by financial gains,
After years of toiling owners want to be able
To shrug off their growing pains,
Food is nice, especially when it’s free,
Yet at the end of the day,
It’s all about a corporations’ longevity……..
