Wonder Women

Satiricus was seething. He knew he was going to take a lot of stick from the fellas at the Back Street Bar. Where were his leaders when pandemonium and chaos broke out in Parliament? Nagga Man  was supposed to be the leader of government business and Rum Jhaat was in charge of the Police. Yet they were nowhere to be seen when they could have shown some leadership. He came up with a plan.
“Eh! Eh Sato! Me see Nagga Man and Rum Jhaat bin a hide behind dem desk, when all de action bin a guh aan in Parliament!” snickered Bungi. “Wha’a guh aan?”
“They weren’t hiding,” said Satiricus firmly as he downed a beer. “They were just supporting women’s lib.”
“What?” exclaimed Hari. “Have you been smoking some of that Mahaica Grass, Sato?”
“Naah! Just the medicinal grass the Health Minister gave out in Parliament!!” laughed Satiricus. “But my leaders allowed the women MPs to deal with the situation!”
“Suh dem hide behind de woman MP skirt?” laughed Cappo.
“No Cappo, they could’ve taken charge at any moment,” said Satiricus earnestly. “But that would have undercut the women who formed an Amazon Guard around Edge Hill.”
“Haul yuh ass, Sato!” exclaimed Bungi. “Me know de Feral Gyaal tu’n Wanda Woman dat day. But wha’ mek Rum Jhaat na stap ‘e policeman fram cuffin’ she?”
“I’ll tell you why!” interjected Hari. “Rum Jhaat knew if a Berbice traffic cop didn’t listen about driving carefully, the Georgetown ones would just laugh in his face!”
“Y’all still missing the point,” protested Satiricus desperately, as he saw his plan being ripped to shreds. “The female MPs did succeed in protecting their MP. And Nagga Man and Rum Jhaat must be given credit for not intervening.”
“So why they had to duck and hide behind their desks?” asked Hari impatiently.
“They weren’t hiding,” said Satiricus stoutly. “They were tying their shoelaces!”
