Joseph, my betrothed, I don’t know
where to start. I was into the red
of this egg a long, long time before

I did know the shell mash!
And there never was egg that I meet
in my life to compare with this one!

Jah-Jah himself witness that is true.
And you know, is my mother to blame!
Is okay, Joe! Don’t look so confuse.

I don’t mean it the way that it sound.
But is Ma self tell me I must take
time to ponder on things.
