Poem: "A So Me Tawk!"
Published Sep 12, 2011'Cause me speak wid wan Jamaican accent
dem a put me thrugh bodderation,
Exclaiming, "Hello, Hello...? I believe we have
a bad connection!"
We can't hear you, why you talking so loud?"
Me ansa dem, "I so me tawk...I am Jamaican and proud!"
Me cyan speakey-spokey like de bess a dem,
A wey dem gewin on wid?
Mos a dem hail from cunchie Glen,
Me speak de Queen's english
'cause Jamaica wuz unda British rule,
A who dem a tawk to?
Dem tink me izza fool?
Me iz hip to dem games an dem no class
antics,
but me nah cyall dem fi fraternize ar fi be
wan romantic,
Juss handle mi business an no mek mi haffi
cyall mochomania dung,
'cause when mi finish
mi a go tek uno hall dung to China Town.
