Folklore

They say you fear what you know But you really fear what you don't know Or that's how the saying goes Legend has it that banana and milk can give man a best friend Feed it and it will serve you to the end All its power and prowess they will lend Betray it and they won't be any room for to mend It could be a gift from above or below send Baccoo moves in the night hiding in plain sight Big eye's long arms, legs and half your height These creatures could give you a fright Or sometimes help out when things aren't right But you can never keep darkness in light Mama always say don't pick up bottle from sea side Cause anything could be inside Especially if washed up by tide But hard ears pickney don't know how to abide For they don't know the world is wide
