A TRIBUTE TO Trinidadian Calypsonian CRO

Phillip Alexander

by Phillip Edward Alexander 

He cyah sing he cyah rhyme and he doh even know how to keep time.

If he didn’t have a race card to play he might have had to thief a song and mime

When he tiptoe to look in a mirror he must be shame of what he see

That is why he has to use the culture to insult everybody 

Using calypso to attack Indian people every chance he get

But if Indian people do what he doing he and the whole PNM would fret

TUCO should have taken away his calypso license from the first racist song he bleat 

But because they didn’t calypso tent and monarch bussing with calypsonians singing to empty seats

You could call that culture until the cows come home 

But if those same people taxes he always insulting weren’t funding CEPEP he living on the road 

Here every creed and race supposed to find an equal place or so the anthem say

So how does calypso racism as indoctrination get to have radio and TV air play  

All of my life I have wondered how this overt racism disguised as culture was ever accepted

And what was keeping Indian people from answering him in the same racist perspective  

But perhaps they know it’s not worth the stink and to rise above the fray 

And do like what Eric tell them every time he attack them and just let the diminutive, uneducated, hand out dependent jackass bray.
