This collection, also written in Jamaican Patois, was largely based on his experiences while serving as a police constable in Spanish Town. The poems are an alluring combination of traditional verses, dramatic monologues and confessional love lyrics.
This collection includes the poems:
- DE ROUTE MARCH

- PAPINE CORNER
- COTCH DONKEY
- FE ME SAL
- PAY-DAY
- SUKEE RIVER
- THE MALINGERER
- KNUTSFORD PARK RACES
