Poem: "Scorching!"

Published Apr 8, 2012

Dry Land Tourists
 
sit dung inna de sun
 
soaking up de rays,
 
but really scorching for
 
days,
 
Suddenly he/she tun red
 
like wan lobsta,
 
no sun screen was used,
 
so, dem start sing de
 
sun stroke blues,
 
Who knew tannin pon Port Royal Beach
 
had its dues?
 
Ultra violet rays has ravaged
 
dere skin in so many ways,
 
No wan can tell dere real hues,
 
No thought was ever given to melanoma,
 
or sun poisoning,
 
They nixed the sunscreen with SPF 30
 
to appear money wise and thrifty,
 
A little protection would have solved everything,
 
Lately, no wan is grinnin widout hat an
 
scarf, because if dem mess wid de sun
 
dem skin a go scarch an fall off.......
