Upon a considerably far lighter note and detaching from the great, angst-filled, grammatically (and spelling) errored standard laid down by Dee in his last post; I've decided to opt for a much lighter note in tonight's entry. That is, I have been going through my old papers once again (indeed, it seems to be a bit of a reoccurring theme somewhat nowadays) and come across the infamous limerick; Migration Nation. The poem/rap-type-thing was written many years ago as part of a geography assignment - and was probably the most successful project I've ever managed to complete. As the title should suggest - it is about the migration of people from country to country around the world - the destination simply being known as 'The Migration Nation'. It is also suggested that it be read aloud in a stereotypical Jamaican accent, for reasons which become apparent when trying to make each line sound the same as the last.
Migration Nation
Welcome to the Migration Nation,
We don't need no vacation!
Because we is moving location,
From the Migration Nation.
My girl needs a visa,
So she can come to me and I can please 'er,
I don't wanna leave 'er,
I just wanna squeeze her.
Welcome to the Migration Nation,
We don't need no sanitation!
Because we is moving location,
To the Migration Nation.
I gonna move to the big city,
Where the grass is green and the lights are pretty,
I gonna earn a lot of money,
And get maself a honey.
Welcome to the Migration Nation,

Because we is moving location,
To the Migration Nation!
