Mango Tree

MANGO TREE

Conrad!
Conrad!
What you doing up there in Mr Samuel's mango tree?
Who tell you to start picking de man Julie mangoes!

Garcon,
You should be on de wooden bus,
Going to school,
Not in de bouseiwose mango tree.

Get down from there boy,
before you fall,
It's only a young ting
that barely got trunk.

Conrad!
Conrad!
You listening to me,
You mashing up de mango tree,
You breaking its neck.
Get down boy!

So many ripe mangoes mama buy for you,
in de kitchen,
a large plastic bowl full of mango longs,
yet you still stealing de man
Julie mangoes like dey going out of season.

Look Samuel coming down, oui,
His face about to erupt like
like a hurricane.

Conrad!
Conrad!
You bring so much shame and disgrace on me today,
after de mister buy you an expensive bicycle from
de States
with all de latest gadgets,
and this is how you repay him.

Conrad!
Conrad!
Get down from that mango tree before
I break this broomstick on you.
