Sugar sell-out

Satiricus was back on cloud nine. He’d been given a good bruising when he’d told the fellas his leader Nagga Man had “solved” the sugar crisis. He’d had to concede no jobs had really been created for the 5700 fired sugar workers…but new developments gave him a shot in the arm. Which he unloaded as soon as he’d downed his first beer at the Back Street Bar.
“Fellas it’s clear we didn’t have all the facts when you all crucified Nagga Man for not really providing jobs for sugar workers like he said,” started out Satiricus.
“An’ wha’ mek da suh clear?” asked Bungi quizzically, as he poked at the Banga Mary cutters.
“Well, didn’t you see how the trade union leader Komar Land said he was happy with the meeting with Nagga Man?” said Satiricus.
“Suh wha?” asked Cappo laconically, as he took a chug of his beer.
“So if the sugar workers’ union leader is happy,” said Satiricus as he slapped the table for emphasis, “it means there is something for the sugar workers that we don’t know about!!”
“Yeah!” interjected Hari. “Nagga Man’s Government just fired another three hundred workers!”
“An’ Sato,” said Bungi, before Satiricus could say anything, “yuh evah t’ink Komar Land happy fuh de same reason Nagga Man happy?”
“What’s that?” asked Satiricus curiously.
“E tek buy-out!” pronounced Bungi grimly.
“It’s the same half-empty cup you fellas always seeing,” said Satiricus with some heat. “What isn’t Komar happy because the Government has something coming up for sugar workers?”
“Because Nagga Man called him ‘one of the most outstanding Guyanese labour leaders’!!” smiled Hari knowingly.
“What?” protested Satiricus. “What’s wrong with a compliment?”
“Me fr’en, w’en yuh just fyaah quarter ah de union memba, an’ den yuh praise up de leadah,” said Cappo, shaking his head, “Somet’ing a stink!”
“So you don’t thing they have jobs for the sugar workers?” asked Satiricus plaintively.
“Dem gat wan jab fuh Komar Land!” said Bungi cynically.
