Mai'khi C'Nia

Now I Peto was perplexed and dismayed by the lack of substance that emanated from the political platforms in this pre-campaign psychological skirmish that was playing out across the rock.

Behold, the leaders of the land art engaged in a puerile and unavailing debate surrounding the issue of the appropriate date for the holding of elections on the rock. 'Twas the baker who thundered the opening salvo and he was likened unto a petulant tot pouting his desire to deliver his yuletide message from the house of Jamdown and he was uncompromising in this demand. But the nurse also can be sassy on the hustings and she subsequent to breaking ground for a mega-resort on the outskirts of a coastal shanty town, addressed a handful of comrades at the opening of a northern constituency office and there she retorted unto Bruce Almighty, saying that neither the Jamdown constitution nor the people gave unto her the authority to let any section of the premier's residence, thus the baker shouldst seek alternative accommodation to spend his Xmas.

The vision

And I became weary from trying to wrap my noggin around the diatribe of the time, thus I nodded off into the realm of the subconscious, and there I saw in vision before mine eyes a new Jamdown and its wonders were awesome to behold. Yeah, I beheld a collection of revolutionary nationalists who were disenchanted by the uninspiring and unbecoming quality of the debate on such a critical national issue, and they staged a demonstration at the gates of the house of Jamdown to register their displeasure. And there were numbered amongst them radicals as well as moderates, and they were of a common design with their placards screaming, 'We want justice!'

And they gathered 'round about the gates of the House of Jamdown and when they were within a hundred yards of the location a negligible detail of peace officers challenged them with tear gas and such, but they swatted the hapless cops and proceeded to picket the gates. And with true Jamdown bravado they produced a rather unsightly but formidable length of chain and a hefty padlock and they hitherto secured the gate imprisoning the lady premier therein.

Hear O Bruce Almighty

And when the baker arrived at the gate to claim his platform within its boundaries, the nationalists counselled him saying: Hear O Bruce Almighty, for on this day we shall save thee blushes. Recall ye that the last time a 'tician from the West Kingston climes ventured too near to these barriers to be defiant he discovered that though the heart was willing the rest of his structure was not so gung-ho and he succumbed to the peace officers' canisters on national television. But thou O Bruce would present a far more side-splitting image if thou were to likewise capitulate and had to be ferried away by Audley the man a yard and Karl the rotund. Yeah, that would undoubtedly create a light-hearted moment for the people, a respite from the heavy stuff that thou and the nurse art dumping on them at this hour.

Thus the nationalists convinced Bruce Almighty of the futility of his position and averted the pending drama that would have supplemented what already exists on the hyperactive Jamdown political landscape. But I Peto continued to slumber and I saw e'en more visions of the new Jamdown flashing before me, and they were pleasing to mine eyes.

Dearly beloved, of this I say to ye, more anon. Selah.
