I have long come to the conclusion that Mayor Hamilton Green is suffering from attention-deficit disorder (ADD), a condition that causes him to seek constant reassurance that he may be important.

Green’s condition is at an advanced stage which forces him to resort to the pages of the newspapers or 15-second inserts on TV, out of necessity, to get attention.  

For people like Green, their search for attention generally serves as a compensation for unconscious emotional hunger. It is quite logical therefore that in his deprived state, like a ‘’junkie who needs a fix’’ he would do anything to feed his attention-deficit disorder. Oh! Oh! Oh! Jenny why yuh leave an go?

Green’s anxiety is part of his desperation for attention understandably so because all the GGG members joyfully deserted him, including Jenny. Desmond Hoyte dumped him and he disconnected himself from the City of Georgetown as Mayor.  

I am magnanimous enough to extend my generosity to Green for whom I have already enrolled in a crash course, all expenses on me, on ‘’Managing Senility’’ – lessons for geriatrics.

The course outline includes a test on ‘’deeds’’- your role in atrocities of the past’’ as a qualifier of the core subject.
