SONG OF THE KOKROBITE SEA

I’ve seen those with fees

Wanting to dance naked in my sees

But end up peeing in me

And what of the many babies who think me a womb?

II

I’ve seen human rear-holes

Of mafia Gas trumpeting in tows

Fearing no eyes, putting eyesores in my mouth

Slapping me with angry tissues

III

I have witnessed brawls

Brawls of marijuana owls

Always ending up higher than highest

So punch and I punch fiercer

IV

I have been whipped with cans

Look into me, I have all the bans

And oh spits and body odours

Always grace my dinners

V

Listen to my name and shiver

When you shout, mine will make you quiver

I have more power than a weak river

I’ve seen expired floaters than you can think

VI

Kokrobitey

I am Kokrobitey

I am like the gangster amongst swimmings

The toughest of all sea dealings

VII

Kokrobitey

I am Kokrobitey

Love me or hate me,

Once you dip, you can’t judge me until you smell yourself

Once I still keep neat, give some respect
