TNN 45

Hello folks… (deep voice ..)  This is TNN… Chilren go to school an’ learn welllll… odderwise later on in life yuh go ketch real hell ..(Sparrow).. background music..

AH HOPE ALYUH CONSTITUTION STRONG.............

Ah hope alyuh have belly for dis.. because alyuh wit’ "bad heart" eh go las’…. it lookin’ bad…

No is not Mike Tyson fight…dis one bigger yet, an’ if yuh in Trini, yuh have ah ringside seat… FREE !   Two aging heavyweights goin’ tuh battle….. for now de Cobra go hold comment an’ jus’ put in ah few words on how t’ings goin….

Remember las’ week Manday fire two Senators from de Cabinet (man say dey better sue de carpenter because de Cabinet comin’ apart…. oh gorm.. kyah ! kyah ! kyah !   I is de bestest t’ing, yes.. . wait alyuh , leh me dry meh eyes…)…. 

Anyway, de President Rob-we say he eh signin’ nothin’ till Manday come talk tuh him like de Constitution say…?   (Yes, folks and Rob-we is off to a flying start..  Manday came out confident, but two stinging jabs to the face have caught him offguard.  Who would have thought Rob-we would be so fierce ?)

 Eh- Heh, well Manday storm in de man office Friday gone, an’ start tuh get on wajang style, because he vex, vex, vex…. like Robwe forget who make him Presedent..?!    Like he want some ole han’ tuh remind him..?  (But wait, folks… Manday recovers and advances forward aggressively, meaning to take this fight to Rob-we.. yes folks we are in for a battle tonight….! Manday throws a solid right to the body and attempts to wrestle Rob-we to the canvas !)  

Buh ay-ay… I never…!  Well Robbie say dat Manday have tuh respect he office an’ further more he want ah apology from AG Ramesh "Twist Mout/Grenada" Maharaj an’ de PM too because dey talk him bad, in fact LIE on him….  SCANDAL!  (Oh my gosh, it’s a battle royal! Winner take all!.... we were expecting a short fight, maybe a draw, but it seems that Rob-we is in for the long haul!  Rob-we, rather than backing off and giving room, decides to advance forward.. and he lands several punishing blows to the kidney region.. the old stallion is remembering his war days for sure.. !)  

De cut man, Wade Bark decide tuh go to Cabinet an’ adjourn de meetin’ (again!) pendin’ ah outcome, but de res’ ah de Cabinet members say NO!  ..Government business have tuh go on, so dey lose dey too (My word! Manday is takin’ serious punishment now!  Two vicious uppercuts stagger him!  Will we have an intervention by the referee…?   The crowd is on its feet!  …But  ..PING! the bell goes and the round’ ends…! We definitely have a fight on our hands folks…. you are getting your moneys’ worth…!  But don’t write Manday off, he’s been through several bruising battles before..) 

Well, dat is de sorry state of de nation’s affairs.. two big men cyah seem tuh come to ah simple solution….  Man talkin’ ‘bout Constitutional crisis an’ all kinda t’ing.. dat is jus’ ole talk.. dis t’ing could solve easy if  dem fellas serious, but nah, let dem fight like pit bull if dey like it so…. 

An’ yuh know de shameful part..?   Jus’ last week, Manday, Rob-we an’ Papatrick was in national Poooja dong south, an’ talkin’ hard ‘bout peace, togetherness, unity, comin’ togedder… alyuh really feel I does lose sleep over dem jokers…!   Steuuups!  

But check de Cobra nex’  week for he comments on de t’ing..an’ how it coulda done quick……. why some people lik tuh ramajay an’ wine up so…?!

FLAG AT HALF MAST.....

Ah bit ah sad news… ah fella dey call Flagman get bounce dong las’ week, an’ we eh go see he again….

Gerald Lewis was he name an’ every national sport event dat fella was dey, boy.. (he was 61)…de man even get Merit of Honour for he patriotism….. an’ de man was still goin’, yuh know……! 

Ah remember years ago when ah goin’ tuh football, cricket, road race an’ t’ing, yuh always seein’ dis fella wit' ah TnT flag in he waist harness, walkin’ roun’ an’ roun’ de track  before de game an’ at haltime, or even ridin ah bike wit’ ah flag at de back.., an’ we use tuh nudge an’ tell one anodder.. "Ay, look de Flagman , check him…like dat fella doh miss no event, boy ", but we used to t’ink "de man kinda crazy, eh… walkin’ all over de place wit’ dis flag"… but boy, is proud de man did proud of he country…. de man was ah true, true, Trini..he wasn’t rich or nothin’, but for no payment he jus’ use to show up an’ fly we flag… wey de men like dat again…? 

Dem people is de kinda foundation yuh does build ah country on, not de dominoes men yuh have now…one blow an’ all ah dem jus’ fall oneside….   T’anks man, Flagman, t’anks for de reminder… at last de flag is lowered.. but ah sure "up dey" you go see ah Trini flag wavin’ somewhere.. as de Flagman makin’ he rounds.. ..wha’ yuh say..?!
