“Buy Caymanian” is what they say
But let me tell you what happened the other day
When I was mowing my lawn you see
The wheel broke off and nearly killed me.

I jumped in my car and to the shop I did drive
Going very carefully, I was glad to be alive
For that lawnmower was going so fast
When the wheel fell off I fell in the grass.

There’s no speed limit on these mowers so we
Just open the throttle and let it run free.
Well, I got to the shop where the mower was bought
Got a man to serve me and the wheel was sought.

The wheel he produced was all he had.
I took one look at it and said this is sad
For the wheel I needed was made of plastic
And this one is of steel and probably won’t fit it.

“But if it fits your mower madam
You won’t need a plastic wheel.
You can have it on approval. I trust we have a deal?
So take it home and try it madam.”

“It’s all we have in stock
You’ll find no better value than what’s here in this shop”.
I took the wheel home as the man suggested
But it didn’t fit so I angrily insisted…

That what my mower needed was just a plastic wheel
And not one weighing a ton and made of heavy steel.
It was only then I heard the shopkeeper say
“Perhaps, just perhaps we can get one from the USA.”

Now I ask you folks to take a stand
Is this really good enough for us in Cayman?
Shopping local will save us a trip to start
But please, oh please shopkeeper try and stock the part!
