Guyanese got the best acrobats
(Kaieteur News) – Dem boys seh welcome to de Chinese Acrobatic Troupe who coming to Guyana to show we how human body could bend, twist, flip and balance pun one finger without falling down. Is world-class entertainment, dem say. But some people asking why import acrobats when Guyana already got plenty local talent in politics.
Dem boys seh if them Chinese visitors really want competition, leh dem spend one week watching we politicians. After that, dem sure to pack up dem poles and plates and ask fuh early flight home.
Look how some of we politicians does twist words. That kind of spin would make a man doing triple somersault get dizzy. And leh we talk balance. Acrobats does balance pon rope high in de air. But Guyanese politicians does balance pun both sides of an issue at de same time. Morning time dem support something strong strong. By evening, dem oppose it with equal passion. If that ain’t balance, wha is?
Then yuh got de contortionists. Chinese performers could fold demself into suitcase size box. Nice trick. But local leaders could squeeze ten promises into one budget and still find space fuh three excuses.That is advanced flexibility. Dem boys seh de jugglers too got nuff competition. Real acrobats does juggle balls, plates and fire sticks. Politicians here does juggle scandals, press conferences, missing files, rising prices and still smile fuh camera. Sometimes dem even juggle numbers till nobody know if cost-of-living rising or falling.
And de escape artists! Chinese troupe might lock somebody in chains and den free demself in seconds. But Guyanese politicians does escape responsibility faster than Houdini. Soon as trouble start, is de previous government, de opposition, de weather, de moon phase or international circumstances. Dem boys seh don’t underestimate de clowns neither. Every circus need comic relief, and every political season does provide nuff laughter free of cost. Some statements so funny, people ain’t know whether fuh vex or clap.
So welcome, Chinese Acrobatic Troupe. Enjoy Guyana, taste de pepperpot, see Kaieteur Falls, and put on a grand show. But if yuh looking fuh real masters of bending, flipping and landing on dem feet no matter wha happen, just watch local politics.
As dem boys seh, some performances don’t need tickets.
Talk half. Leff half.
