The 2011 Calypso Monarch Popsicle produced two stinging, sweet songs, using the double entendre magnificently to win de title.
Since then I have been asking myself: Market Vendor, would you pick a fair too? From the look of it, de thousands who did attend had either picked or were prepared to pick a fair too!
I don’t know where, all of a sudden, Popsicle come from. De man write some sweet lyrics and as to his mode of transport, he got it right; don’t worry about de price of gas if you got an ass, hold on to yours like he did wid his, Cornwell! And iffing Popsicle could come clean, then I might as well tell yuh bout all de fairs I picked too!
While we all agree wid the winner, I didn’t pick some of de other positions as fair. One sing outa key yet come higher than some who were on key. De Announcer was sweet, lyrics biting; I say he deserve a better pick than a fair!
Tickets fuh de Greenidge & Haynes Stand and boxes, yet all yuh hear is echo in yuh ear!
I feel I woulda been better off had I picked a fair.
I attend a U2 concert in Dublin at a football stadium ten times bigger than Kensington and could hear every word in muh ear. How come we can’t do dese tings right? Dem should get a fare and see how it is done over there!
CBC is de sole television station in de country, but dem using pay per view fuh Pic-O’-De-Crop Finals. Could that be fair? Iffing yuh can’t afford MCTV, yuh would need to pick a bus fare just to be there!
Some Soca Royale and Party Monarch contestants think dem is shareholders and show dey lack ah brought-upsey. I glad I wasn’t there. My pick was a fair! De Bag show dem who is real boss and win a proper red Kia Sportage; now that was truly fair!
Bridgetown early Saturday morning, Foreday Morning jump-up, thousands of people pun de street, music did sweet and de lasses look better than fair! De micro size of de below-de-waist attire was a cause fuh fear.
People buy up all de $500 Luxury VIP tickets fuh de Rihanna show; among de special benefits is attendance at a after-show party. So far that is fair. Now I see de organizers gine water down that benefit becausin iffing you buy a $75 ticket yuh could pay $40 and attend de said same party. Could that be fair? And iffing de luxury VIPs want, they can fork out another $80 for a Premium upgrade! After paying $500? Wunnah gone mad?
I would forget de after-party and pick a fair!
And where dis foolishness come from bout VIP and VVIP and now Luxury VIP? VIP means Very Important Person. How could yuh have something above dat? Dat is unfair! Use Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze – that would be my pick, my fair!
Learn from de fiasco show in Trinidad wid Beyoncé; de organizers charge VVIP rates of TT$1 600 but by de time yuh left yuh did smell like yuh hadn’t gone to a Beyoncé show but had picked a fair, at maybe a school or church in Arima or Arouca! But dis is de mudder of all shows, a boss move by Adrian Elcock, David Rice and de BTA to bring home de No.1 artiste in de world, the iconic Rihanna, my pick fuh attendance over any fair!
I, Market Vendor, gone fuh now! You have a blessed and a fair day, yuh hear?
