Dear Mama
Good day
I hope that when these few lines reach you
They may find you in the best of health
Mama I really doan know how to tell you dis
Cos I did mek a solemn promise
To tek care a lickle Jim
An try mi bes fi look out fi him
Mama I really did try mi bes
But none di less
Mi sorry fi tell ya seh poor lickle Jim get arress
It was de miggle a di rush hour
When hevrybody jus a hustle and a bustle
Fi go home fi dem evenin shower
Me an Jim stand up waitin pon a bus
Not causing no fuss
When all of a sudden a police van pull up
Out jump tree policeman
All a dem carryin baton
Dem walk straight up to me and Jim
One a dem hold on to Jim
Say him tekin him in
Jim tell him to let go a him
For him nah do nutt'n
I'm nah tief not even a but'n
Jim start to wriggle
The police start to giggle
Mama mek I tell you what dem do to Jim
Mama mek I tell you what dem do to him
Dem thump him in him belly and it turn to jelly
Dem lick him pon him back and him rib get pop
Dem lick him pon him head but it tough like lead
Dem kick him in him seed and it started to bleed
Mama I just couldn't stand up deh and do nuttin
So me jook one in him eye and him started to cry
Me thump one in the mouth and him started to shout
Me kick one pon him shin an him started to spin
Me pump him pon him chin an him drop on a bin
And crash
And dead
Mama more policman come down
And beat me to the ground
Dem charge Jim fi sus
Dem charge me fi murdah
Mama doan fret
Doan get depress an downhearted
Be of good courage
Till I hear from you
I remain
Your son
Sonny
