And when somebody ask what gon happen to de ones who already in de Cabinet, one man seh, “Dem gon get big diplomatic post… overseas. So we don’t have to hear dem excuses no more.”
De rum start talking louder than everybody. Last round, Sarge jump up and shout, “I applying fuh Minister of Chicken and Chips — since I deh in all dem roadside joints campaigning long time now!”
Dem boys seh de real Cabinet forming not at Congress Place, not at Freedom House, but right there in Pappy rum shop — where de only qualification you need is two shots of rum and a loud mouth.
