But every Sunday morning, dem poor people does gat to be hiding and dodging de police. Dem does gather pon Cuffy Square and when dem feel de police nat around, dem does hustle with dem dray cart race. Now dis is poor people sport and de government does try fuh suppress rather than support it like how dem supporting motor racing.
Dem boys see dray cart and goat racing as poor people sports. But it can become, along with bird whistling, tourist attractions. So dem boys calling pon de President fuh regularize dray cart racing and fuh promote goat racing and bird whistling competitions.
