Niagre et al, ole higue poem

But now is too late for advice,
'Cause you done start to count de rice
An' if you only drop one grain
You must begin it all again.
But you gwine count in vain.

Rollin' Calf (by Louise Bennett)

Me deh pon has'e me kean tap now,

For Tahta John a-dead,

De oda nite one rolllin'-calf

Lick him eena him head.



It is a long story me chile,

Me really kean tap now.

Yuh musa hear sey Tahta los'

Him black an wite bull cow?



T'ree nite an day him sarch fe it,

Couldn' fine it noan tall,

Soh tell nite-afore-las' him sey

Him hear one cow a-bawl.



Him meck fe Figgins' open-lan;

Doah him an dem noh gree,

An see de bull dah-lie dung under-

Neat' one gwangu tree.



Him teck a rope an tie de bull,

An dem him bruck a stick

An him layba de po' cow back, me



Tan a-yard an hear de lick.

Him start fe lead i home, but wen

Him tun roun fe goh call,

Him see de sinting two y'eye dem

A roll like tunda-ball



Him goh fe halla, but same time

Him feel a funny pain,

An wen him look eena him han,

De rope tun eena chain



Massa, him fling i wey an run,

Him hear de sinting laugh,

It wasn' fe him cow at all,

It was a rollin' calf!

Him jump Bra Caleb wire fence,

Him faint as him ketch home,

An since him come back to himself

Him dis a-twis an foam.



Mek kean tap, is a obeah man

Dem sen' me fe goh ketch,

Me feel me y'eye a-jump him mighta

Dead long before me ketch.

Him dis a-twis an foam.
