("Millo from de Rillo"...by Kamalo Deen)
...And He lifted his voice and said,
"Ah give yuh calypso an' soca... Ah give yuh sweet pan... Parang, limbo an' chutney... De bes' tassa han'.
Ah give yuh artists and craftsmen... Tops in de worl'... A rainbow of colour... Reflectin' mih soul.
Ah give yuh culture an' history... From every region an' time... Religion, politics... Labour an' lime.
Ah give yuh lovely, lush islands... Teemin' wit' wealt'... Scholars an' sportsmen... Beauty an' healt'.
Ah give yuh good, natural shelter... Ah give yuh de dream... Ah share mih diversity... To give yuh a team.
Ah give yuh de assets... De tools yuh will need... An' ah give yuh de freedom... To sow a great seed.
So Trini, tell mih yuh proudest legacy,
De one yuh most hope to save."
And Trini replied,
"Ent I teach dem how to roll up dey bumsee?
An' how to jump an' wave, an' misbehave!?"
