On heavy white paper with feathered edges, a black and white photograph is printed in blank space. At center, near the top is a photo with the background trimmed away, of a basket piled high with food, including a bunch of bananas. Below the photo is the embossed outline in blank space, of a barefoot woman in a dress, arms folded in front of her, who is balancing the basket on her head. Below her, centered at bottom is aqua blue printed text:”Mi love fi teach de foreigna dem fi chat yard style./ But mi nah mek dem know how fi say,/ “mi fi gallong back ah wok” so nah bodda ask.”
