Kaieteur News – Dem boys been limin’ at Uncle Pappy rum shop whole weekend. Elections coming September 1, and de place hot like pepper pot on Christmas Day. Rum flowing like oil in Stabroek basin, and so is de talk — who gon get axe and who gon get big wuk.
Old George seh, “Watch and see, is not ballot box gon decide de government, is de rum shop.” De man already give out Cabinet posts like he is de President-elect.
“Deh seh Brain from Berbice already buy suit fuh swearing-in,” Pee Boy whisper. “De man never wear jacket in he life — now he measuring up fuh minister o’ culture, fashion and style.”
Sarge, who always drink pun credit, seh, “Watch nah, dem boys who bruk last year suddenly got Prado and talking ‘policy direction’. Is de only direction dem know is direction to de nearest ATM!”
But de real bacchanal start when Uncle Pappy seh, “Y’all ain’t hear? Dem reshufflin’ de whole ting. Dem seh anybody who didn’t tek off dem mask during COVID time now got to tek off dem jacket and walk.”
Loud Mouth Lucy seh she hear from she sister who cousin work at GECOM that de man who does run de weed-whacker at City Hall getting big promotion — Minister of Clean-Up and Cover-Up.
And when somebody ask what gon happen to de ones who already in de Cabinet, one man seh, “Dem gon get big diplomatic post… overseas. So we don’t have to hear dem excuses no more.”
De rum start talking louder than everybody. Last round, Sarge jump up and shout, “I applying fuh Minister of Chicken and Chips — since I deh in all dem roadside joints campaigning long time now!”
Dem boys seh de real Cabinet forming not at Congress Place, not at Freedom House, but right there in Pappy rum shop — where de only qualification you need is two shots of rum and a loud mouth.
Watch yuh back, people. Election coming, but de lime already start. Is axe and appointment sharing like it is box-hand!
