Dem Boys Seh…

Kaieteur News- A puppet don’t got no mind of it own. It don’t got no voice of it own. It don’t even got a soul. Puppet only got one wuk—to do wah de puppeteer tell it to do. If de puppeteer seh jump, de puppet does jump. If de puppeteer seh clap, de puppet does clap. If de puppeteer seh talk, de puppet does move it mouth, but is not it words—it just de voice coming from behind de curtain.

Dem boys seh some puppets does look real fancy. Dem does wear suit, tie, sometimes even a lil gold pin pon de jacket. But don’t be fool. De strings still deh attach. Is just that some puppeteers does use invisible thread.

De real problem is when puppet start to believe it is a real boy. That is when de confusion does start. Puppet start fuh puff up it chest, point finger, act like it running things. But dem boys know de truth—de puppeteer still deh behind de curtain, pulling de strings, making de puppet dance.

Puppet don’t ask question. Puppet don’t make decision. Puppet only got one job—follow de script. And if de puppeteer ever decide fuh cut de string, puppet does tumble to de ground, lifeless, like a rag doll. Dem boys seh watch carefully. If yuh see somebody always repeating de same lines, always with de same people, and always doing de same thing, check fuh string. Yuh might just be looking at a puppet!

Talk half. Leff half.
