Notes About The Poem

A Trini Woman Scorned

Look nuh, go from here, go, get out!
Before I give yuh a dam clout

Yuh so schupid yuh dam cunumunu,
doh ax meh anyting, I ain’t yuh doo doo

Yuh jus like a cobo in de LaBasse,
doh touch meh ‘less yuh wanna cut-ass

Boy, allyuh do is get tight and horn
limin ‘n winin drinkin rum till dawn

Go ‘n horn on somebody else, go!
And doh be such a blasted macco

Man, why yuh go ‘n cheat ‘n done a jail?
Witout meh yuh’ll be catchin yuh tail

I done talkin tuh yuh - yuh so schupidee,
boy, dat toti done wit dis toonee 

Dat good fuh yuh - yuh look fuh dat!
Now learn dis, I ain’t no horner or jagabat 

So take yuh cokee-eyes ‘n let meh be,
I ain’t de one who’s bazodee!
