Bits and pieces
Are just what they are
And sometimes to hold them together
You need more than tar.
Some people so love an argument
They can’t live without one,
They will argue for the sake of arguing
That abnormality is a norm.
I heard this in an Ad
I believe it was Mac
He was coming with a brand-new song
From way back!
The most controversial person ever
Was a Jew,
Sorry to burst your bubble
If you thought it was you.
The inbound journey
Is always shorter than the outbound
And this is not a feeling,
It is a fact, you clown!
Time goes so much faster
When one is having fun
But time just drags on and on
When one is glum.
Loads get heavier
The longer you carry them
And may I humbly suggest to you
Gravity is not the problem.
If you can see something
That just isn’t there
Then you are either very old or mad
Or, you are not here.
We argue about the dead
And what the dead doesn’t know
As though we are experiencing death
And must make a show.
Some people are dead
But just too scared to lie down
Feeling that if they stay on their feet
They will indefinitely stick around.
Picturing my own demise
Is a daily habit
And for sure, one of these days
I will experience it.
I have something to tell you
But don’t tell nobody
And that’s why the body we tell
Is always somebody.
It was a dead giveaway
Witnessed only by the dead,
Don’t put the living in the dock,
Put the dead instead.
I heard an incredible story
That was so unbelievable
And though I was willing to believe it
It was forgettable.
Have you ever written something
That you couldn’t understand?
That last one was!
That was the plan.
The judge asked the accused,
How old are you?
“Half your age, your honour,” he replied,
“Given your view.”
That very last one
May have been over your head,
Ponder on it for a little while
If you are not dead.
I tried eating a banana fig
That must have contained a rope,
It was not fully ripened
As I had hoped.
If you are a Bajan
You’d understand the last one,
If you are a Bajan but still can’t
You are probably a blonde.
A fully functional machine
To rid us of the sargassum weed
Has not be used for a very long time
And a part is its need.
While covered up it was discovered
At a certain location
And the above explanation was given
By a certain politician.
Politicians are known to say
The stupidest things
And at times can be so overwhelming
One’s ear noticeably rings.
Unemployment has gone down
A politician once recalled
But couldn’t be seen by the naked eye
Was his call.
You mustn’t speak ill of the dead
And I certainly agree
Hence, when I am gone, I won’t like it
If you speak ill of me.
With these bits and pieces
It is sometimes hard to land
So that I could fly around all day
But that is not my plan.
Just one more I will give you
And I assure you I won’t lie,
After that I will be out of here
And it will be, “Bye-bye!”
If you are still waiting
It means you just didn’t get it,
I am not a politician
So, lying is not a characteristic.
