Young Girls...Beware! (Creolese) Poem by CHERYL winter

Young girls! doan make yuhself a fool,
Pick up yuh book and go to school!
Don't make no styles pon education,
In this world you got to have qualification!
When school over, ketch the first bus,
Doan stand up in the street and make no fuss!
Doan leh no young man invite you to go and lime!
Dem young men...deh only want a good time!
Doan listen to none o' deh sweet talk!
Doan admire deh fancy walk!
As soon as dey open deh mouth and tell you how much dey care
Tell them trouble deh 'bout
And you don't want no share!
Young girls doan hurry yuh time to fall in love
no matter how dem young men say you is deh turtle dove1
Remember!
When all is said and done
Sweet talk caan give you education!
