NUTSHELL

Intoxicated

Despite all the haggling by the opposing types, Ra-kneel still has a sense of humour. Last week, he was entertaining some foreign visitors at Temple Trees. Our man held sway about the history of the Araliya Abode.

Way down in history, the abode was nothing more than a store house for Arakku and the rooms were filled with the drunken types, so the man related. “Now the inhabitants are only drunk with power,” Ra-kneel told the guests with a cheeky  smile. Hope there is medicine for the hangover. Hee, hee.

 

Naked Truth

One guy who was not amused last week was A Bee the Clown Prince. He returned home last week from his annual sojourn in the US. This time, he had chosen the city where the angles get lost to rest the limbs. A dizzy Clown Prince was on his way out of the plane when right at the door, lo and behold, his pants fell off. Being the size he is, the chap found it a bit difficult to bend over and pick’em trousers.

An anxious Clown Prince was looking behind to make sure that Mangy was not around. For who knows more than him what a pain in the butt such types could be. Ouch!

 

The Elixir

Clown Prince’s woes did not end with the detrouserings. When he got home, there was no water. The angry returnee fired a call to Asaad Sally, the mayoring deputy. Blasting Sally’s brains off on the state of affairs, Clown Prince demanded a bowser of water. And pronto Sally boy dispatched one.

Since all citizens are equal, there is a message here folks. Next time when the taps go dry, just call our boy Sally for a bowser. And your taps will never run dry.

 

Usually Late

Satellite is still  sticking to the old schedule of getting late. The good lady fixed a Thai Pongal celebration at the Presidential Abode for Saturday. A full three days after the real thing.

 

Waiting Game

Akashi the good man from Japland was in town and wanted a tete a tete with Satellite. But she was in no mood for such talk, what with them from the land of the rising sun  pitching all help for the peace talks. First, Satellite said can’t, then said can, then can’t, then again can, finally can’t and can’t it was.

Afterall, a lady can change her mind, can’t she?

 

Bad News

Ataullaaah, the rebellious type from Es El Em Cee is finding it the hard way how tough it is to topple a leader. Last week, he trooped into Wije the Dasa, the PC type who has been advising on how to topple Hakeeem. The news however was not good, the good PC told Ataullaaah and Hafrath.

But despite the bad news, Wije the Dasa is doing brisk business advising all those who want to take pot shots at the governing ones, waiting in line for a meeting was Suraj the Dud-deniya who is after the Labouring One.

 

The Honeymoon

At last Chumuditha got hitched. The attesting witnesses were Ra-kneel and the chief opposing one Mahinda. After the ceremony, a camera was in Ra-kneel’s face wanting to have his good wishes on tape. “Well I have done my part, now it is up to him,” Ra-kneel said, tongue right in the cheek. And the Chum we are told sure lived upto expectations. Hmm...
