Long time when dem big ship come into Georgetown, all dem gyal use to dress up and wait till dark to visit. Some of dem use to climb up like if dem was sailor. By day some of these same women use to do fancy job. Some use to wuk as bank teller and some use to teach in school.
Dem boys seh that something use to come over dem when night fall, just like how Ol’ Higue use to change when night come.
Some use to meet some impossible shaft.
Couple time some of dem gyal use to over sleep and de boat people use to wait till de ship cast off and then wake dem up. Is then de fun use to start. Dem ship people use to throw dem overboard. Is then dem small boat people use to mek money because dem had to fish dem gyal out of de river. Dem same gyal now had to pay.
Well dem days did done. At least that is wha dem boys think. But de past two weeks dem see people jumping ship again. Hamilton jump; Burton jump; Bissesar jump; Van West and all jump. Peter Ram planning fuh jump too. He did jump from one to de PNC then he did jump to de AFC. He want jump again.
Dem boys seh that dem waiting to see when de ship gun throw dem off. De only thing is that dem ain’t gun got no small boat to rescue dem.
Just like dem gyal who use to jump ship long ago fuh de money, dem boys seh that this set also going after money. Dem gyal use to guh fuh de foreign currency; this set going fuh local currency.
De thing wid jumping ship is that you got to have decent underwear. This set might have problems. De shaft waiting fuh dem and is no ordinary shaft.
Talk half. Lef half.
