My Dustafarians

 

 

 

 

I love my Dusta-farians
to me they are my bros
Dusta -Rasta ..Farians
the coolest of negros

 

 

We be jammin` in de night
'til de break of day
We be tokin`on de ganja
and kleenin`to reggae

 

 

Yu need no stinkin` Swiffer
when de cobwebs dread de locks
Ja-maican it .. den shakin` it
wit de brudda's dusta socks

 

 

So when de dirt it bodda yu
 mi tink yu need de pros
Axe for Doobie and Kelassie
the Dusta-Rasta bros

Dustafarian Dance

 

 

Don't take no shit,
Don't be a drag.
De Dustafarians
Ain't any rag.
De dust they pick up
Is quite discreet
It just stick to
De flat o'your feet.

Dance, dance me Dustafarians,
Smoke de shit like barbarians.
Dread locks are utilitarian
When it come to picking up dust.

So don't be sad
Don't bare your sole
With Dustafarians
Feet don't get cold.
You have to smile
And get into a beat
With Dustafarians
Down on your feet.

Dance, dance me Dustafarians
Smoke de shit like barbarians.
Let this song be your clarion
Let de boys swipe away all de fuss.

Author notes

Thank you oneluckygirl (Jane) who made these two slipper socks for me - after i told her i sometimes clean up spills and dust with my socked foot.

Note: This in no way is meant to be derogatory to Rastafarians...some of which are very good friends of mine

a bit of silliness for new handmade socks

    That song has got number one written all over it!! It was a joy to listen to. You have got one hell of a talent and an incredible sense of humor. The poem is a blast too, it's a pleasure to be reading through your work again BBOM You certainly haven't lost your unique and magic touch. I just got to ask though... do you actually wear those socks? LOL! I wouldn't be in the east bit surprised if you do ...I would!! Brilliant work as always *hugs*

        Make
        him his very own pair??? Jane, you must make him sign something...to agree to add his two dustafarians to mine to form a Dusta Rasta Reggae foursome musical group or The Moppity Sloppity Cleaning Service.
        For once he gets his pair..he may very well go off - creating his own show He'll be a headliner in Vegas..next to Wayne Newton singing Danka Dusta Schoen or Daddy Doobie Why Yu Walk So Fast Mon *No*
        Don't trust him...why just look at his shifty eyes down there

    I've got a pair of slippers, but they're not rastafarians - they're Marks and Spencer's. But what they lack in ganja and dreadlocks, they more than make up for with a supportive heal and a non marking sole. I love my slippers, they're one of the better pairs I've had. I tend to go through slippers quite quickly because I wear them everywhere. Even when I go to the postbox or take the bins out. Hence I have dubbed them my 'all purpose, indoor and outdoor activity foot comforters'. Good poem.

        Ok then, how about this for a first stanza:

        Galfalfa said to Powerslave
        'Brother, you need a damn good shave.
        Because you look a little weird
        with your Brian Blessed beard'

        And that's just from the top of my head! Quite what such a fine example of literature was doing on my head is still unknown, but I think it was covering up the bald patch. Now you do a verse

Pretty clever for sure people can be so creative. Hope things are going well for you I am not here as much as I was. ♥ ♥ Sis

    I love your Dustafarians
    Your colourful, crazy socks
    I can see you doing housework
    All the neighbours  say ‘she rocks’
    Don’t try to separate them
    As together they should stay
    To help to keep the tootsies warm
    On a cold or rainy day.

     

    Good to see your Muse is back and not being a 'deviant' for a while.

    Very funny Gal

I See your muse didn't go anywhere...da brodda's held it captive, actually Doobie got her stoned and dey be tossing back a brew while Kelassie he be doin crazy dancin shakin up all dem bunnies just for you!

    This truly is an exceptional smile inducing piece. Every line shows off your talent for producing amazing wit from the crazi, sorry cwaziest of situations. The choice of phrasiology conjours the scene perfectly. A very difficult piece made so easy by your own inimitable style.
    Hugely entertaining, intelligent piece. Something I could never attempt, let alone succeed at. But don't toothless budgies suck-seed?
