*
'Poppy-show' probably comes not from 'puppet-show' but the older form
'poppet-show'. The word is used in Jamaica to mean 'a ridiculous show
or exhibition - one that fails or is disappointing because it is badly
done' or simply, in this case, the kind of exhibition the girl makes
of herself through clownish behaviour or 'stupid talk'. 

**
The 'Obeah man' is a 'shaman', witchdoctor, or sorcerer. A user of
supernatural powers who can exercise control over others. It comes
from the African 'Twi' language word 'bayi' meaning 'sorcery'.
