THE PARROT
The Parrot don’t like too much a’ “seh-seh”; “he-seh/dem-seh” as some would seh.

Plenty “seh-seh” does get you into trouble. Just ask some a’ dem boys who does tek up plenty “tar”, yuh know, “daru”, “lika” and get so high that when they “drap” a’ sleep, dem “talk-out” everything. Dem would talk where they went, who they “drink” wid, who they “deh” with, who de “drink-mates” deh with, who else in de village deh with who and who ain’t deh with who.

In deh sleep, dem would even provide supporting information; information to substantiate who is propagating this generally conceived “falsehood” in what may be a deliberate attempt to tarnish the character of those who reside in the community and who were the subject of discussion during the meeting of minds (“drink time at the corner shop). How dah sound? Like some drunk man who has the capability to utter the Queen’s English after prolonged imbibing? Some can. The others are the opposite; a source of gibberish.

When they talk, others, in most cases the female sober companions, take “note”.

These “notes” are used subsequently as a verbal confrontational mechanism (argument) which invariably ensue (happens plenty) after the effects of the “hard-stuff” (not what you thinking; the rum) would have been mitigated following natural bodily functions, namely (in)digestion and excretion. (..nah, no need to state the colloquial terms).

Anyway, when the “lika” “ware-off” is a different kind a’ “seh-seh”. Often, after this round o’ “seh-seh”, begging follows; the now sober “drunkee” begs for another “chance”. Plenty out of ten times, he gets another.

Anyway, is plenty “seh-seh” going on. Simels seh, Vaughn seh, Enrico seh, Julia seh, Corbin seh and Raphael seh.

The last two seh how they emBARKing on a public education campaign. Being very keen on education, I thought “Broadcast to Schools” was outsourced to the Place of CONgress and its KEY partner.

I was wrong. Like the man who came home late and “tight”, they said one thing before and another after. Is what they drinking? Their “talk” must have sounded like gibberish, because nobody like they ain’t understand dem. The way they were talking, one expected to see many “graduands” as a result of this much touted “education campaign”.

In 2006, the Place of CONgress and its KEY component got a combined 142974 “students”. That’s not a TON number. Steve verified this. How then, just under thirty-six months after and their “tag-teaming”, only 100 responded to this “tutorage”? The answer is simple; people, in this case the “students” referred to, are not interested in “he-seh/dem-seh”. They know that the “syllabus” of this “education-outreach programme” was about “seh-seh”; “he-seh/dem-seh”.

The two “Tap-men” was planning to seh what dem hear Julia seh who hear what Enrico seh who hear what Simels seh who probably frightened what Vaughn seh who seh what he hear dem boys seh. So yuh see, the “seh-seh” plenty. People ain’t got time fuh waste with “he-seh/dem-seh”.

When the same two “Tap-men” jointly announced their “education” plan, they were seemingly in a state of delusion which was probably brought on by the ingestion of a strong intoxicant.

They definitely had to be “tight tight” to believe that people would have responded. The poor attendance “sober” dem up. They then talk something else; boycott. While they were uttering in this “intoxicant” state, Roger was taking “notes” whilst having lunch on the same day. Like the sober one, he waited for the opportune moment to eloquently articulate and offer he and his colleagues’ wisdom to enlighten the disorientated leaders of the Place of CONgress and its KEY protégé.

Roger don’t seh what don’t know. He knows the fine details of such public education campaigns.

He and his colleagues have done many successfully. Plenty many. Corbie’s “seh-seh” seems to have gotten him into trouble with a Vin Cent, a West Van, a North one and many others including Ruff-fella. So if he and Ruff-fella really want to know how to seh what they want to seh, they must listen to what Roger seh. He has the notes. So “sober” up and seek another chance guys. Squawk! Squawk!
