One minute ah hear Janet get boff for henging out she bosum on TV, next minute ah see my girl Bouncey get five Grammy awards for henging out she bottom on TV. Ah wanted to talk ‘bout all dat eh? But ah have to see ‘bout we business first. Ah doing like Black Stalin. "As long as my people fighting for ah equal piece of de cake, wait Dorotee, wait Dorotee, wait!"

Back to de CCC meeting.

It was like ah episode of Survivor. What had me confused was de security guards. Is as if to say we cah sit dong and talk widdout getting on like red ants. Mine you, ah see some big bachack in de meetin’. But it had me feeling kine’ah ting up to notice not only two guards by de front door, but about six Metro pohlice; de same pohlice who profiling we, sitting in de back, gun on dey hip, listening to de ting,

I see a member dere. Pappa yo! If you listen to he you would swear he invent carnival. He feel de more big word he use de more sense he go make and he only parading up and dong dress up like Jackie Chan.

A nex’ one tell we he was too busy wid udda work to have time to prepare proper financial statement. But what jail is dis? You in charge of de cahcahdah and too busy to do yuh sums? You telling me you do a good job and I mus’ elect you again but we nearly tree hundred tousand dollars in debt? I look at de report. Ah haul awf meh shoe so ah could count on meh toes. Up to now ah cah figure it out and he only stan’ up staring in space when de report get rejeck.

You have debt but yuh taking plenty room in Royal York Hotel. You have debt but yuh giving ‘way eleven tousand dollars in complimentree ticket. Who you trying to impress? You putting on show but have no money to pay de winners. You not paying de mas men. Is dere costume people coming to see, not your face. Respeck de mas men! You pay yuhself before you pay dem. Yuh forget dey could make a parade widdout you, you cah make a parade widdout dem?

You have somebody wid one chinky radio show who get partly all de money for media promotions while some big stations get a dribble? When people akse de man to explain dat he getting on like de Big Bad Wolf only huffing and puffing. Is me alone who fine dat song like pure tata?

And den de new board come een, de ole board waltz out scotch free and leave a mess to clean up. How all yuh get dat do?

I read in a community papers how de parade in Hong King was nice. Ah glad. Because when ah hear all who was going ah make about twenty novena. So why you making we bawl for murda but could go over dey and handle yuhself properly? While you was dey did you akse dem how dey manage to keep people back from de route so as not to interfere wid masqueraders? Did you akse dem to show you how to organize tings? Or yuh was too busy enjoying yuhself?

People email me to akse how de meeting was. My answer to dem is "Why you wasn’t dey?" Some people only have mout’ to complain but no belly to help out. You know who was in de meeting? De same zandolie who was causing mischief in de ting since I small and only a few brave souls who want to see a change. You cah stop home den complain how tings not right on Caribana day.

But hear meh good eh? All dem jumbie who like to say my people is nowhere-ians, yuh notice de Liberal government get ketch las’ week? Sponsorship money end up in people back pocket so put dat in yuh multi-cultural pipe and smoke it! I watching de CCC hard but I still support de good efforts. Doh come washing yuh mout’ on my people, while dem collar and tie criminals teefing!

Nex’ week ah coming again to finish awf meh report. Ah have some suggestion for de new board. Doh tink is only joke I making. Ah not going to do like some an’ only fine fault.
