Dem boys, when dem tekking a drink, does sing ‘Missy lass she gold ring’. Now dem boys always want to know wheh Missy been when she lass she ring.
If she was living at Bartica dem woulda seh that she was washing by de river and de ring slip off she finger and end up in de water.
If she been in a room wid somebody other than she husband and she tek off de ring fuh hide de fact that she married then that was another story because people woulda assume that she forget de ring in a room.
But if she never had a ring then that is another story because she gun have big people searching fuh something that was never lost. Well that is something like wha happen de other day.
Dem boys decide to check fuh see if dem friend company register and learn that in this day and age is some big books that people got to go through.
De big lady ask dem boys fuh brace up pun de counter and she send a young girl to check. De poor child had to pull out a chair and climb up some shelf and pull down some books that woulda mek people build muscle. De child nearly fall off de chair when she put she hand pun one of de books.
She start fuh search and de dust fly up and she sneeze. Because de boss lady was there de child couldn’t stop searching.
Lunchtime come and she still searching. By afternoon she ain’t find nutten suh she claim how she got to search another book.
De next day de child climb up pun another chair and pull down another book but she ain’t find nutten. Wid shame write all over she face and water settle in she eye she tell dem boys that dem friend company ain’t register.
Dem boys want to know if dem hear right suh dem ask de gyal again. Dem want to know how this could happen and de child suggest that de owner fuhget fuh register.
Now de problem is how that can happen and de people who policing de operations ain’t spot that and tek action. A company got to register unless it register and de registration loss like Missy gold ring.
But talk fuh rain and talk fuh sun, dem boys want fuh know why people always attacking dem boys friend company.
Is not like any ordinary company fuh sure because of de concessions. De number of toilets and toilet bowls that dem get concessions for mean that is a lot of effluent (big word fuh de other thing) gun come out of that company.
Dem boys seh that if is de case then de ‘Grow More’ campaign gun surely tek off because fertilizer will be in grand quantity. De farmers gun save foreign exchange since dem wouldn’t have to buy foreign fertilizer.
Now that will surely earn de company some money because effluent is a money making thing in some countries and since Guyana poor it can help wid de money aspect of life in this country.
But wha dem boys want to know is why so much toilets? Dem gun have more toilets than workers and nobody ain’t got to wait pun de other to use de toilet.
Is only one problem. Marabunta does build nest in toilets wha don’t use and it gun be a real problem if some of dem sit down pun one of de toilets that de marabuntas invade and tek up residence.
People gun hear de bawlin’ till in South Ruimveldt. And according to all dem boys, people eyes really pass Guyana Times.
People claim how Guyana Times get concessions, how it enjoying things that other companies never enjoy and how it got some duty free printing press and duty free paper.
Well a Mr Sukhlal had to put pen to paper and clear de air. “The Guyana Times is not published by Global Printeries and Graphics; is not one of five companies registered and incorporated under the ownership of Queens Atlantic Investments Inc.”
That ain’t all. Mr Sukhlal write more. “Absolutely no tax concession of any kind has (sic) been granted to the Guyana Times, including for the web printing press on which the newspaper is printed and including for all supplies imported for the publication of the newspaper.”
Now is six company dem have in that Sanata compound. Five of dem get tax concession and one ain’t get. Dem boys want to know if de one who ain’t get didn’t get vex.
Dem know that when is dawg season and all dem other dawg getting and one ain’t getting that is de one who does mek de most noise.
Something wrang.
By de way, de Hard Time paper want $40 million from de Waterfalls paper, plus an apology. Well dem boys seh that dem mekking joke.
No apology. But dem boys seh y’all can come to de Waterfalls paper fuh collect de money, but walk wid lil Sqezy or two cake o’wet soap.
Talk half. Lef half.
