Gaslighting

Jump the broom

Mr. Chaos

You and your blushing bride

There is no Chow in this wedding

Only Jerk-ylls

and Hydes

Lisa drinking rum in the corner

wondering how

to bump off the bride

Lo!

Quan is at the chief table 

smiling

at the dowry

with Pride

Jump the broom

Mr. Chaos

Jump high

to land good

Charge your feet 

with some Megawatts

Hold she hand 

if you could

This is a lifelong partnership

Forget all those past flings,

with operators and drivers

managers,peddlers and audit

and things

Play the Pan

Dey!

Jump this broom

Mr. Chaos

Soon you and your bride

Will sway

To this 

1995 

Panramajay

Jump that broom

Boy!

And let the people sing

For this Ganga done rise

To wash away all ah we thing

And Lo!

Khan!

Uninvited 

Out there peeping from the bush

While Sal  and Dee

In she red frock

Sitting nyamming cush,cush

Jump that broom 

Mr. Chaos!

You and your blushing bride

Is  everybody paying

For this pleasure

You unstable treasure!
