(Kaieteur News) – Dem boys seh Georgetown traffic does bring out all kinda comparison, especially when the red light catch yuh by Regent and Camp Street and yuh ego decide to stretch it legs. So dem boys seh one afternoon, a man in a little Kia pull up side-by-side with a big, shiny Rolls-Royce—one of them long ones that does take two parking spaces.
Dem boys seh when the light turn red, the Kia man wind down he window and holler, “Boss, nice ride! Yuh got Wi-Fi in that thing? Because me Kia got Wi-Fi, eh!”
Dem boys seh the Rolls driver look over slow-slow, like he measuring the man, and say cool-cool, “Yes, I have Wi-Fi.”
The Kia man seh, “Nice! Yuh got fridge in there too? Because me got a little fridge in the back seat—cold water and everything!”
Now the Rolls driver start to look vex and seh, “Yes, I also have a refrigerator.”
Dem boys seh the Kia man grin and press on. “Well check dis now—yuh got TV back there? Because me Kia got one. Passengers does watch movie when traffic lock up.”
By now the Rolls driver almost bite off he steering wheel. “Yes!” he seh. “A Rolls-Royce have television. This is the finest luxury car in the world!”
The Kia man nod polite. “Real fancy, boss. One more thing—yuh got bed in there? Because me got a bed in the back of me Kia.”
Dem boys seh that was it. The Rolls man get shame. Soon as the light turn green, he mash accelerator, disappear and go straight to the dealer. “Put a bed in the back,” he order. “Money ain’t a problem.”
Next morning, the Rolls come out with a bed fit for royalty—silk sheets, brass trim, thing looking like Pegasus Hotel suite on wheels.
Dem boys seh the Rolls driver drive whole day hunting down the Kia. Late that night, he finally spot it park up, windows foggy like rain fall inside.
He knock on the window. Knock-knock.
After a while, the Kia man stick out he head, soaking wet.

Dem boys seh the Kia man blink, look confused, and seh,
“Yuh pull me out the shower to tell me that?”
