Satiricus was all confused for a while. He’d been reading about Prezzie’s speech in America and he had this weird feeling he was transported back in time. It was just like how his father had described Burnt Ham riling up his supporters during the bad old days in the sixties. He himself wanted to hear how his leaders Nagga Man and Rum Jhaat explain Prezzie’s speech, so he wasn’t worried about the ribbing he’d be getting at the Back Street Bar.
“Budday!!” exclaimed Cappo, as he spied Satiricus and signalled for another beer. “A ‘War Break’ yuh know!!”
“What are you referring to?” asked Satiricus, pretending ignorance of what Cappo was referring to.
“Yuh na hear wha’ Prezzie tell ‘e ole soulja fr’en’ dem in de states?” asked Bungi sceptically. “An’ yuh ah wuk a newspapa?”
“Oh that?” Satiricus replied with raised eyebrows. “Well is your PPCEE start the whole thing when they didn’t let Prezzie be heard.”
“Da na true, Sato,” complained Bungi. “Ev’ry t’ing bin a’rite till Nagga Man seh how de PPCEE dem a terra-ris!”
“Da wha’ me seh!” said Cappo. “War Break!! Nagga Man declare war!!”
“But Sato, why would Prezzie say so bluntly the tactics from 1964 will be used to get the Pee an’ See back into power?” asked Hari as he took a swig of his beer.
“Why you asking me?” demanded Satiricus. “I’m still waiting for my leaders Nagga Man and Rum Jhaat to explain.”
“Well Nagga Man ole enuff fuh know how Pee an’ See tek ovah de guvment in 1964 – riot!!” said Cappo. “An me hope ‘e rememba wha happen to de Pee an’ See padna right afta!”
“But befo’ Burnt Ham kick out ‘e padna, dem bin p’epare fuh rig de elekshan,” pointed out Bungi. “Yuh t’ink Nagga Man guh larn sense?”
“Not when he’s more in the air than on the ground,” said Hari. “ million worth of flying!”
Satiricus clinked bottles with his friends, sadly.
