Political Belly-wuk

TIMES INT'L

Satiricus was happy he’d made the break with the KFC. As he sauntered towards the Back Street Bar, he was pleased he didn’t have to put up with all the nonsense Nagga Man and Rum Jhaat were going on with much longer. There were no principles, he mused, just naked self-interest guiding them nowadays.”
“Like yuh leadah dem ah get belly-wuk!” gloated Bungi as Satiricus sidled into his seat at the Back Street Bar.
“Like you forgot I chucked in my membership with the KFC?” smiled Satiricus, as he reached for his beer.
“Well, it’s a good thing you did,” said Hari. “Nagga Man and Rum Jhaat seem to’ve gotten bassidee since that beating they got at the LGE!”
“And right afta, Jagdesh put dat no-canfidence lash pan dem!” smiled Cappo in delight. “W’en cow deh a pas-cha he nah remember dog and butcher deh till ‘e see am.”
“When I resigned, I told them I was only the tip of a very large iceberg!” said Satiricus. “But Nagga and Rum Jhaat weren’t too fazed.”
“Rail-ly?” asked Bungi. “Suh wha dem t’ink guh happin?”
“Yuh na hear wha’ Green-Hedge seh?” asked Cappo. “Pee-‘n-See guh write wan new ‘greement wid dem?”
“What he means,” said Satiricus cynically. “Is Nagga man and Rum Jhaat will get some bigger Larwah!”
“Big tree fall down, goat bite he leaf!” laughed Bungi. “An’ ‘e cyaan grow back!”
“Well, Sato!” said Hari. “Don’t get too bitter. They’ll soon be kicked out with new elections after the no-confidence vote!”
“But how de PPCEE guh win w’en de guvment gat waan mo’ seat dan dem?” asked Bungi with a worried frown.
“Like you fellas forget it’s not only me who’s fed up,” said Satiricus. “Lots of the MP’s are also sick and tired of Nagga Man and Rum Jhaat accepting doormat treatment from the Pee-‘n-See!”
“But dem nah uh know who na guh vote fuh dem?” asked Cappo.
“They’ll never guess!” said Satiricus with relish. “They don’t realise “nah because dog ah play with yuh he nah guh bite yuh!”
