THE RAKE MASTER SAYS… Rastaman inna barbershop?

Friends, the big strong Rastaman (23, 6) sitting in the big barbershop (33) drew many curious stares. The way how the man cut him ten (10) and was waiting patiently mek mi wonder when would be his turn to sit in the barber’s chair.

But only moments later, mi realise dat him was actually waiting on the little boy (11) whose hair (19) was being cut. What was even more puzzling than the Rastaman’s presence was the amount a money (25) weh the boy pay fi the barber leave most of him hair pon him head (12).

Mi cyan believe seh sensible, sober people ah really look forward to the swearing-in of Trump (26) as America’s 45th president. Every time that man open him mouth (14), or what people call the annoying hole (8) in him face, him mek all the baby (34) weh nuh born yet look bright.
