‘Too oft we overstay our welcome’
What will it take to bring down the curtain on this farrago and consistently fractured performance? Like the sesame street hagglers Nit n Wit….. the people of Barbados have now endured for too long. We were given a promise of “better days are coming,” only for Jimmy Cliffs up-tempo Caribbean renaissance “to be punished with laughter” by descriptives and their promised “delivery to the light.”Far the less, as one seasoned blogger had put it…”What light? Emera? – waiting at the end of the imaginary tunnel, with increasing fuel charges to inflict pain, in exchange for unscrupulous gain.”
We have been duped, twisted and re-duped, by Ms. Fowl-up, Mr. Bleep and Madame Blunder, way too often. Why welcome all to Bottle Gas and Gasoline Merry-go-rund…up a 10c today down a 1c tomorrow, bringing in more than $100 Million to BARNOC in less than a year. Who ever said scooping off 17c per litre from the blinded,ain’t big bling bling. Why who can forget the even bigger Rip Van Winkle of marking up own drilled fuel oil, to be resold to BL&P, only to be marked up and “vat-attacked” to unsuspecting householders. This tragedy of errors could only be capped by an encore performance of even greater colossal; holding on til the end…”til the last tether
Why can’t some people know when they have overstayed their welcome and accordingly, bow out gracefully, and go home? We the more classy people have done it. Ten ‘o’clock is the time to leave your guest’s home and not ten minutes to twelve. Must we be reminded of this. Staying on till the end? Five years is up come January 2013, is this not what should have been told to little 12 year old Johnny, when he also expressed his concern, as to when the fiasco will come to an end? Sometimes actions are more comforting than words, even when in Latin. Take a hint from the Fontabelle babe and scholar.
Time up ! Curtains please.
