Abusing power and Bunjal Duck

TIMES INT'L

Satiricus was feeling quite chipper! And why not? With two holidays coming up – Good Friday and Easter Monday – making it that most valued US “four day weekend” what could be better? He and the fellas had honed their plans for the holidays to a science over the years. As he entered the Back Street Bar, he thought about his usual job to provide the “Bunjal Duck” and how duck prices were skyrocketing at this time of the year as usual.
“Hey Sato!!” exclaimed Hari, as he spied Satiticus. “Why so glum, chum?”
“Nothing really. I was just thinking about preparing my special Bunjal Duck,” Satiricus explained. “And how prices are jumping up!”
“Budday, w’ateva yuh do, na cut back!” exclaimed Cappo, as he passed a beer to Satiricus. “Las’ year abee run out, rememba?”
“Abee na run out!” retorted his pal Bungi. “You run the Bunjal Duck out!!”
“OK fellas, I’ll take care of things,” assured Satiricus. “So what’s new?”
“Nothing new,” Hari assured him. “Your leader Nagga Man up to his old tricks all the way from the States!”
“I thought we’re going to finalise our Easter plans,” said Satiricus in alarm.
“Well…ah you aks wha’ new!” chuckled Cappo.
“Suh wha’ Nagga Man do dis time,” asked Bungi, as he turned away from the worried Satiricus to face Hari.
“Mouth open and story jump out,” reported Hari. “The WAPA fella said on TV it was Nagga Man shill who carry news on the Chronic Editor!”
“So it wasn’t Nagga Man himself who did the dirty,” exclaimed Satiricus in relief. “Just the water boy!!”
“Sato, na t’ink abee schupid!” said Cappo a bit exasperatedly. “De wata bai jus’ carry de news.”
“It was a senior Minister who instructed the poor editor,” said Hari. “And you know the water boy can’t order a senior Minister.
“Gat to be Nagga Man!” said Bungi. “Rememba how ‘e seh somebody sen’ Joey tape?”
“Da can only be Wata Bai!” exclaimed Cappo. “’E mussee complain to Nagga Man about dem WAPA bais de same time!!”
“Can we get back to the Bunjal Duck fellas? said Satiricus desperately. “I’ll prepare double this year!!”
