Imported Bammy

By

Times are hard and call for drastic measures
 
Jamaica is trying to stretch their crop by relying
 
on their neighbors,
 
Bammy imported from Cuba,
 
Hopefully made with pure cassava,
 
Put to the test with  cooking oil,
 
Created international turmoil,
 
It Hardened........
 
Blackened........
 
Became inedible............
 
Was it cassava?
 
or a hybrid.........?
