Darling Ma-hinder
What is it with the leaders of Paradise
dearie, really, I mean to say. There Satty
was, not many moons ago, pretending like
nobody’s business about burning the midnight
oil in gay Paree, studying and studying at
Science Po, with a wet towel turbaned round
her frontal lobe and her toes wiggling in a
bucket of tepid water when you and I both
know that far from having her feet submerged
in water the young wench was living it up in
the Latin quarter.
And now, there you are pretending you
were invited to speak at the Oxford Union
last week when all you had done was get that
comely Paradisian diplomat in ole Blighty to
toddle along to Oxford and book the Oxford
Union Hall for a local binge and for ready
money courtesy the Paradisian masses.
So there you were, a rice paper invite by
the local Paradisian Society in ole Blighty
clutched in your left hand, your right index
finger absent-mindedly curling itself around
your red satakaya wondering what to
do. When Ta Da, Kapaw,
Eureka, you remembered that there was
an outpost of minions in ole Blighty willing
to go through any number of risks to put the
shine on you.
And of course like that mindless freak
going by the name, style and firm of consul
that is general in the land of the Maple
leaf, whose only duty it would seem is to
open and close his bally mouth like a
demented fish, you too have fumbled upon the
useful tool of doing nothing but using some
silly little men and women in some state
sponsored rags to sing your praises.
You know m’dear, people often find out
about these things sooner or later. It
doesn’t matter if you have gutter websites
steeped in ignorance and knee deep in your
poop like the Tribune, and idiotic
chaps at the helm of your state rags to sing
Alleluia to you and your physical and
mental goons.
And pretending to have been invited by
the Oxford Union when all you did was yap to
a bunch of local yokels while gulping down a
dish of kothamalli and crunching down
a kokis, is rather silly. It is
behaviour wholly expected of you but it does
not cease to be well….silly.
Really one gets quite ill to take a
glance around and see the burgeoning look of
worshipping admiration from the masses. I
refer in this instance of course to that
section of the masses that are determined to
remain asses….No …no, I tell a lie. Their
only aspiration in life seems to be to
emulate the rear end of asses.
And even as last week you pretended to
your minions in Paradise that you had been
invited by the Oxford Union I must say that
for a moment even Thellie’s eyes sparkled
not unlike the sparkle that may have lit the
eyes of a distressed damsel of the middle
ages as she observed a little known knight
slaying a dragon on her behalf despite the
fact he was on the list of endangered
species by the Medieval Green Peace Council.
The trouble with you darling is that just
because you have succeeded in inducing a
handful of half-wits to disfigure the local
and international scene by supporting your
antics you think you are someone.
And I may have gulped a spoonful or two
of Jacob’s Creek Chardonnay — yes even
Thellie is feeling the pinch, damn you, no
more top of the range vino for me either
with your economic what not…but it’s no use
trying to veer me away from the subject with
thoughts of wine I tell you.
There you are pretending to the world you
are invited by the Oxford Union just as much
as you are pretending to the world about the
bally war. Those trumped up figures of dead
and dying, those fanciful tales of a epic
victory, all part of the bally act. I’ve
often wished I’d had a coin for every time
you pretended to be what you are not. Would
stretch from here to Timbuktoo not to
mention help in some small way to alleviate
the financial suffering Thellie is
undergoing under your bally jackboot.
But despite my lack of fine wine courtesy
the Chinthana I weep for you dear.
Poor darling. I know your face would have
flushed and your eyes would have bulged and
your hair would have stood on end as you
imagined that you were part of the Union
invitees — if only for one, shining,
hallucinatory moment.
Well dear, as far as the President of the
Oxford Union went it made perfect sense I
suppose.
There you were last week, bearing your
teeth over the war like a pit bull at a pre
school, sniffing superciliously at
negotiated settlements not unlike a Shiatsu
who has been given a bowl of inedible soup,
yowling about the international community
like a Chi Wha Wha in a trance, and
strutting about like a Dalmation who has
just found his G spot. And all this in the
Hall that once Churchill and other leaders
waxed eloquent in. Of course when they
spoke, they didn’t have to buy the use of
the hall with blood money.
And following your yapping who should the
Oxford Union invite to give a speech but a
female Dog Trainer. And for real this time
too. The wench was invited by the
local RSPCA who had to pay a fee for the
Hall.
Go figure.
