Greener grass

If I ever have my life over again
A white man me da go marry!

De Jamaican men them
Too mean
And miserable

One St.Elizabeth man, who work up a Stankey
Him and his wife married for thirty-five years
Well
him wife have fe beg him
To buy pantie!

And every Saturday me see her in de market
A carry bag, bag, bag
Like a donkey!
That man never help her in
Thiry
Five
Years

When she die
Him go pick up one
Young yardie gal
What that gal no what for
me no know!
And every Saturday
Him in a de market
A carry
Bag!

Sometimes you better off being the woman..
Than the wife.
Yes!
A white man me da marry!

You totally missed the cultural message that poem is conveying. That poem is a dramatic and comedic poem focusing on some ironic cultural aspects of the male female relationship in Jamaica. What poem had nothing to do with actually marrying a white man. And if it did so what?

I suggest you crawl back in your little rat hole and continue to to nibble on your tail in hopes that one day you just might free yourself from your pathetic existence!
