Nutshell

Cowardice

Wee-flower last week coughed his guts out when he said this and that at the House by the Diyawanna Oya slamming the podu peramuna types. Having had his say the git was standing tall outside the well of the house together with Mano Wijey when Rauf walked out. And Wee-flower had the grace to blush when Rauf called the man's bluff saying the reds are a bunch of yellow livered cowards for no sooner Satty crooks her little finger the gits would go running, choking on their jathika abimanaya tail between the legs and all. Sin no!

 

Pride and Prejudice

And Wee-flower had a baptism of fire of sorts when he arrived at the banquet Satty threw to host ole Clinton and Bush Snr. Ignoring what the fine print on the invite said that dress was formal or national, the git sauntered in sporting a shirt all in red. But it was not his dress code that was the talk of the town but that the die-hard Marxist had downed his pride and was mixing with those darned dirty imperialists no less. Tch! Tch!

 

Fine Dining

At the banquet it was fine dining. No finger bowls were visible only sparkling silver. Wee-flower, a little bird whispers, was caught staring at the silver with utter dismay, but nevertheless did not dare use his paws to dip into the sumptuous Tangalle lobster that was served as hors d'oeuvre.

Instead the git struggled and fought with his silver trying hard to pick out the fine flesh, using knife and fork but to no avail. Finally, red shirt and all he shoved it aside, surreptitiously smacking his lips for all that was lost. Slurp! Slurp!

 

Flights Of  Fancy

Sha-litter is fast earning a name that will soon hit the big lights. This time the silly prat was having his home down Katunayake way all done up, but has for some funny blarney reason got runway lights fixed on the house. Dear. Dear. why did no one tell this boy that he will have those darn jets landing on his head. Who could after all blame UL, eh?

The Stalker

The Clown Prince has a stalker and is in a right royal panic. First it was at the ministry that is tourist where Douggie landed gear and all only to attract the suicide striped kind, frightening the Clown no end. The Clown since moved to the ministry that is industry but Douggie, lo and behold was at his doorstep last week snooping for a room or two to rest his rear. But the Clown, this time, is having none of it, so much so, he forced the paid forces to stage a protest insisting Douggie must not, ever, be allowed to come sit. Hee! Hee!

 

Food for Thought

The grapevine was a-buzz last week that Mahindeer of Kalutara fame was about to jump fences abandoning the greens for good. And the rumour machine was pumping overtime cause when Cader, the prison bird buzzed Mahindeer he complained that he too had been the focus of gossip alleging he was about to cross as well. But Mahindeer laughed inviting Cader to come sup with him that night joking after all he was about to swear allegiance to the blue, red and blue. Crikes!
