Satiricus could barely conceal his joy as he hurried over to the Back Street Bar. Three years ago, he’d taken a lot of flack from his best friends after he decided to stick with his leaders Nagga Man and Rum Jhaat when they joined up with the Pee-‘n-See. And matters didn’t improve any when the Pee-‘n-See stiffed Nagga Man on the extra powers that would’ve come from the President. Now it was all about to change!!
“So wha’d you fellas say now?” crowed Satiricus, as he and his buddies huddled around their table with their beers.
“Wha’ yuh a talk ‘bout, Sato?” said Cappo, “Me’riddle, me’rridle m’rie?”
“I’m talking about my leader Nagga Man becoming President of this great Republic!” Satiricus said, as he slapped the table with his open palm.
“Ow, Sato,” said Bungi, “Da all yuh t’ink ‘bout? Yuh na worry ‘bout de President?”
“Yeah, that’s rather cold, boy!” observed Hari.
“Look chaps, the President only gone up for a check-up,” said Satiricus. “He’ll be back in two weeks.”
“Suh Nagga Man guh be President fuh two week!” chuckled Cappo. “Wha’ yuh t’ink ‘e can do?”
“Well, ‘e guh get fuh chair Cabinet two time!” interjected Bungi before Satiricus could answer. “At last!!”
“Al’yu laugh!” said Satiricus amiably. “Nagga Man can do a lot of things in two weeks!”
“Like what?” demanded Hari.
“Well he could give out all kinds of goodies to his old supporters in the sugar belt,” said Satiricus. “And win them back at the LGE fu vote KFC!”
“Whe’ Nagga Man guh get de money fram?” asked Cappo, truculently.
“From that $30 billion they borrowed for GuySuCo,” said Satiricus smugly. “Where else?”
“Lemme get dis strai’t,” said Bungi with an incredulous look. “You tink Nagga Man guh get Cabinet to ‘gree fuh spend $30 billian pan suga worka?”
“He can do anything! He’ll be the President!” said Satiricus. “Why not?” asked Satiricus.
“Because Nagga Man never ever showed he has the stones to take risks!” observed Hari with a smile.
