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
