When the Language Merge

I Walk into Bobby Department Store And I yelled where are the Jamaican and Barbadian at? This might sound a little weird to most, however, it’s that time of the year, when all the languages and the dialect merges follow by the real country accent of them original place Plus, some rudeness as their form long waiting lines But to see the joy of Christmas Still exist in their tone of voice Christmas time is that one time of year when you could be happy without giving yourself any reasons. Quote I could hear sentences like I want to mail this barrel by next week But I know they wouldn’t get it before next year As an outside, listening in on stranger conversations they might say to themselves “What is this barrel they are talking about A barrel of rum, a barrel of jack Daniel A barrel of monkey, what barrel? Yes Bubba! that barrel it filled with gift and food stuff For their family on the Island of Brim So, all I have to add to this is.....that I am reminded that while New Yorkers say, "standing online," the rest of the English-speaking world says "standing in line. - Jeffrey Stein Garten quote.
