De man ask, “Frank who?”
De driver seh, “Frank de man who never mek a mistake in he life!”
De man seh, “Everybody does slip up some time.”
De driver seh, “Not Frank! That man was perfect. He coulda run marathon and win. He play cricket and bat like Shiv Chanderpaul and bowl like Walsh. He coulda sing like Eddie Grant and waltz like he own Pegasus ballroom. And de piano? Oh gosh, Frank use to mek it sing sweeter than steelpan on Mash Day.”
De man seh, “Frank sound like he was one of a kind.”
De driver seh, “Wait, me ain’t done. Frank brain was sharper than de Minister budget speech.
