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
