The reason for this reverberation is because the actions of a certain lady caught my attention; Volda. Teacher Volda; sweet teacher Volda. Teacher Volda from the Place of CONgress. The Parrot was shocked at Teacher Volda’s behaviour a few weeks ago during a vigil (so she calls it) outside Uncle Bharrat’s home. Sweet Teacher Volda, didn’t seem sweet.

She got on bad; real bad. She flounced up and down as she and a few others “vigiled”. She flounced and fretted and fretted and flounced so much that she forgot she was traversing a major thoroughfare in the city.

She jaywalked and even endangered herself. There she was, Teacher of the nation’s future, exhibiting unacceptable behavioural patterns of those in such profession.

Some said it was vulgar. Vulgar Volda? Hmmm. The Parrot is aware that strange things happen during protests and vigil. But how can someone who teaches and nurtures our leaders of tomorrow on morals and academics get on so bad for all to see? Yes, Uncle CN from the Chicken Noodle Station (thanks Bill) “braaad-cast” sweet Teacher Volda in she “rik-a-ticks”.

From what the Parrot understands, Teacher Volda was simply asked by a security personnel not to block Uncle Bharrat’s gate. Now this is a reasonable request. Who tell the security to tell sweet Teacher Volda that? It was shoes off, handbag down, sleeves up, hair ponied and spectacles handed to someone for safe keeping as a now bitter Teacher Volda commenced her “braddaring”.

Who would have expected such “braddaring” from the lady with responsibility for social services within the Place of CONgress? Her “feisty-ness” is known. Just ask Aubrey. He was trounced by her with Uncle Bob in her corner.

Are the people at the foreign school where she teaches aware of her escapades on Main Street?

Maybe Uncle CN can provide the tape. Is such behaviour condoned? The Parrot wonders if the Teaching Service Commission (TSC) has jurisdiction. Maybe sweet Teacher Volda belongs to another TSC; Teachers Showing Commonness.

According to a bird from the Place of CONgress, Uncle Bob wasn’t amused by her flouncing. He supports vigils and protest, but not flouncing when it’s neither Mash nor Independence. The Teacher was scolded by the Head. Not from the school, but from the Place of CONgress.

Still she didn’t learn. Her actions continue to give Uncle Bob more headaches. His supply of “headache pills” is almost depleted. After the Mormons were asked to leave, same sweet Teacher Volda boldly, without flounce, announced that the Place of CON was in a “social partnership” with the Missionaries.

The Missionaries, after being given a time frame for their departure, said they are here to do work for the man upstairs (not the landlord, but the Lord). Up comes Bibi Nandram’s letter in the Waterfall paper last Wednesday. Bibi “buss” Volda’s and the Place of CONgress’s bag.

She said “The PNCR, under the guise of a ‘social partnership’ induced the Mormons to provide social services particularly in Amerindian communities as a means of purchasing political capital”. Notice the words induced and purchasing. According to Bibi, Volda’s Party is deprived of the resources to do the work the Mormons did. Wow! Bibi is saying that the Mormons were doing political work for Volda and her Party.

The Mormons are saying they spread the work of the good Lord. How come the Mormons got involved in politics? Hmmm. Bibi has exposed Volda’s “social partnership”, the Place of CONgress and the Mormons.

Uncle Bob was again not amused. He’s not singing; folk songs or not. Sweet Volda has once again “flounced up” and caused embarrassment. Aubrey singing though; he singing in he “rik-a-ticks”,

“Oh Volda, silly Volda
Tell me weh why
Yuh spill the info now.

Oh Volda, silly Volda
Tell me how yuh
Beat me when yuh vowed”
Squawk! Squawk!
