Dear Mr. President of Guyana,
Nobody never teach you that poor brown people should know they place? Especially amongst better-off brown people? What you think you doing, asking Caribbean leaders to co-operate with you to re-think that EU trade document before signing it?
You ain't notice that them ones who say, Sign now, they already got business going good for them? One island got sun, sea, sand, reggae and science research; another got natural gas, oil, sun, sea, steel-bands and soca; and the next island got fabulous hotels where world-famous celebrities stay and sun and sea. They don't need we.
So, I been thinking...ignore Derek Walcott and others warning that we must be careful about prostituting we self to Tourism. And instead of worrying about how to export food and whatever to EU countries, let's feed we boys the food that we grow, make them stronger then lure them girl tourists here with the promise of El Dorado bliss.
Them girls and we studs can swing from limb to limb in we rainforest, oh what fun. Heh. That gon teach them EU men in power a thing or two about divide and conquer, woo hoo. But all in all, this can turn out to be a good trade...you know how we girls here love foreign men. (I gon be unselfish and leave them men for we girls).
C'mon Mr. Pressie, stop harbouring big ideas about fighting for rights and Caribbean unity and all o' that, stop worrying about future generation.
As for botheration letters like this?
Man, look, ignore it, just rock in you hammock and forget.

GG - It's good to have you back, I missed you. ;-)
Tag, you're it...
One think I would say: I wouldn't trust Peter Mandelson as far as I could throw him - and apart from not being Herculean I have a sore shoulder.
caribbean who? unity?? dem still worrying bout dat. I thought federation and the ten minus one equal zero thing did teach them better than that by now
You know Jdid, I think it's us, the ordinary people, who can teach them politicians a thing or two about unity...I believed this a long, long time after a Trini girl made friends with me.
Save your shoulder, Pat, I think we should throw our politicians who need to learn to glue together.
I'm trying to catch up on blog reading in between tasks, Mr. Nighttime...you won't believe how you all teach and entertain.
Love this blog - your writing style is amazing!
Missed your beautiful writing while I was gone and you were off fixing your book.
Poiticians -who needs them? They do more harm than good.
It's so good to see you're back. Hope you are feeling better.
Politicians? PAAH! Not worth sh*t!!
Except cow pat, john, that has worth.
Oh yes thank you, Sab, I'm trying to catch up on blogs, one by one, in between tasks.
Kat, I know you're going to think I'm lying...but yesterday you 'passed through my mind' as we here would say.
Hello Anna, thank you so very much. And welcome to Guyana. How's Wales? Oh look, there's a Welsh blogger in my links list...Zooms...she lives in the Caribbean, she's quite artsy too.
*Sigh* Was regional unity really so implausible a proposition that to this day we still having problems with it? Or we leaders just thick-headed and fool-fool?
imagine walcott's caliban on this.
'i grant your wish for the fish you caught
