Half Caste by John Agard

          "Excuse me
          standing on one leg
          I'm half-caste...

I'm sure you'll understand
          why I offer yu half-a-hand
40      an when I sleep at night
          I close half-a-eye
          consequently when I dream
          I dream half-a-dream...

but yu must come back tomorrow
          wid de whole of yu eye
          an de whole of yu ear
50      an de whole of yu mind

          an I will tell yu
          de ot her half
          of my story"
