When he was alive Zakeer did like nuff stupidness. When he dead was de same stupidness. De people who burying he decide fuh hire a Rasta man fuh dig de grave. Dem boys see de man digging and sweating.
At lunch time Zakeer relatives and friends guh  fuh check at de burial ground fuh see how de grave coming. After dem realize that everything was ok and dem was leaving, Rasta man ask dem if dem ain’t gun lef an advance.  De relative at de back did respond to he and tell he. “Don’t dig Rasta man. Don’t dig. Everything gun be alright.” Then dem walk away. That was de mistake because de Rasta man pick up he shovel and he spade and he lef de grave halfway.
When de family tun up fuh bury Zakeer dem see de grave only dig halfway. Rasta man was sitting next to de grav e. This time people start fuh panic. Dem wonder if dem had to carry de man back to de parlour. One of dem ask Rasta man why he lef de grave halfway. Is then de man explain that when he ask fuh a advance, one of dem tell he, “Don’t dig Rasta, don’t dig” suh he sit down and waiting fuh a portion of he money.  Is de first time people see guests at a funeral jump fuh dig grave.
But dem boys seh that it look like if Zakeer did want delay de burial suh he friends could get a proppa drink. All dem cars was  like a rum shop. Dem had ice, chaser and nuff liquor. Was a good sport, too good, because de grave dig twist up.
Uncle Donald didn’t go to de funeral because he had to ketch he rest fuh go to wuk early de next day. Dem boys seh that every day he going earlier and earlier because he frighten dem people he got in Ohh Pee clean out de place. Dem already clean out de treasury.
De man frighten Rob-Bert and de lunchman more than anybody else. That is why poor Uncle Donald does guh in de office before everybody and he does lef when everybody lef. One man claim how he got to check in early because he don’t want nobody sign no secret deal and no agreement without he knowledge. Uncle Donald claim that dem had too much of that already.
That is why de country deh at a standstill. Uncle Donald can’t do nutten. He got to watch all dem people he got round he. Dem boys seh that he gun get cock-eye.
Talk half and dig the other half.
