CARIBBEAN MAMMY ~ A Blank Verse Sonnet

 

 

Ah remember well me MAMMY

Prayin\' foh me every Mornin\'

GOD bless mah BABBY ~ an\'make him

A fine MAN ~ grant him  a fine WIFE

Plump Bosoms ~ fine chile bearin\' hips

An\' grant me many GRANDCHILLIN ! 

 

Remembr she ~ squeezin\' fresh orange

Ev\'ry mornin\' into a jug

Bruisin\' oil from der skin ~ for zest

I only have to tink ~ my mouth

Fills wid de savour of MAMMY\'S

Orange ~ gumbo ~ ham rice an\' peas

 

Me MAMMY ~ now in PARADISE

But still prayin\' for me ev\'ry day
