Yes that “thespian” quote works jdid, just bet the “th’s right

khaidji thanks for the poem, excellent as usual

Sometimes she told us off but always for the best
Her critique appraisals led to greater finesse
Encouraged us to say our th’s in the word these
Didn’t give journalists and broadcasters any literary ease
I didn’t know what Madd’s “Janet” was about all along
Didn’t know they had immortalize Mrs. Layne-Clark in song
She deserves all our accolades and even more
“Okras in the Stew” was worthy of every encore
Episodes of her hilarious comedies made all Bajans proud
Learn English, she’d advocate but remember your Bajan dialogue
Oratory greats, actors, politicians and any technical guru
Quick to progress but they should master Bajan dialect too
Using Bajan like in “Pampalam” and “Partners in Profit”
Encourages a sovereignty and develops good habit
Nationhood that respects “Private Line” and “Lickmout Lou”
That knows to boast Bajan but when to be prim and proper too
Life is better for critics like Jeanette Layne-Clark
You were much wiser to have listened to her every remark
