I've been real busy for the past couple of days, hence the backlog...

Trini words for the day:

   BAD TALK -  To gossip about someone. To Ill-speak someone. 
               MAUVAIS LANGUE, PONG.
   SKYLARK - Practical joke. Any physical contact that is potentially 
             hazardous.
   BAD MIND - Spiteful.
   KETCH - Catch.
 
   eg.
    T&T)  DOH SKYLARK WIT SHE YUH KNOW. YUH KNOW HOW BAD MIND SHE IS ALREADY;
    QE)   Don't play around with her. Remember, she's vengeful.

    T&T)  SHE GO REAL BAD TALK YUH AN' TING. YOU GO AHEAD, IT GO BE YOU
TO KETCH.
    QE)   She'll run your name through the mud. Watch out, be careful.



This praise song was written for the panman
   To all those who has shown their dedication 
Out of yesterday's rejection
   Onward to a new perfection 
From a hunger came a feel 
   From that feel we shape the steel
So we sing a song of praise for those who
   Help to clear the path so we could see through
So that we children, they have source
   To put every Trinbagonian on course
Out of a muddy pond
   10,000 flowers bloom

                     "A Praise Song (for the PanMan)"
