Ossie Moore

Characters such as Ossie Moore have become ingrained into Barbados' folklore. The name itself is a name that just about every child in Barbados has heard about and every adult has joked about at some point in time. I remember as a child hearing neighbours talk about Ossie Moore seeing a fruit in a tree, climbed the tree to get confirmation on if the fruit was ripe, once confirmed, he climbed down and proceeded to throw rocks at the same fruit in an effort to knock it down. His name was synonymous with a plethora of jokes that we often time just couldn't get enough of.
