Off in a far away distance
is a place called Banana Boat Island.

Ah! The Jamaican people,
as they live in Pineapple shaped houses
Some alone or with spouses.

Now you might wonder
Awe!"Why not a banana
since this may ruin
or what it intends to mean".

Why is it that this fruit will end up
without actually going bad,
when its real and may thrill
those that see it last so long.

When soon before you got to understand
all abou these ways of living
which is not well known.

You have flown in on an airplane
and must really already seen
that on this type of land,
foreigners drops seeds to grow
what happens to be what they live in,
but to be all alone like the banana boats
how would you think they become to be?

Why its so or could it be a mystery
as to find out that the water
contained the same stuff as trees do.

So in your imagination,
with this is what it may be called Fruitopia Sea.

Which goes back to my makebelieve
You've got to love those Jamaicans,
not to put down
not at all,
but to actually have a liking of fantasy
not meaning hurtful
thats why I'am careful
not to wreck or upset a banana boat like this,

By without any means of getting them mad.

Yo dear Serquelia,

You are correct. It's never good to make people angry. There's no money in it.

Love Bones/Bobby
