He scurries away when he had opportunity to speak. Now he comes at me from
left field through Pa Pierre. Father Mose, wait for me. I will honour
Pa-Pierre's amicus of PDOIS, then I'll get back to you. I told you about this hiding
behind other folk to come at me. I know when you get off from work. I'll be
waiting for you at the junction. And don't tell me you don't know what am
talking about.
That reminds me of this funny story: During my primary school days, we had
this guy Istu Prich. He scared all the kids because he had an over-sized head
and he was ugly. So he didn't have any girls interested in him. He chose to
vent his sadness and disappointment at Allah for making him ugly by preying on
the little kids. Once some kids told me they couldn't go home via their
regular route from school because Istu threatened one of their number by staking
out at the main junction of that route. So I told them I'd walk with them. As
we approached that junction one of them told me; "there he is". I took one
look at the ogre and I must admit I was afraid to be too close to him. Not only
was he ugly, he was filthy. I told the kids, "you know what, I think you
were right in taking the detour home". I told the kids that Istu had a rare
disease called ugfilthia and it is contagious. So I took the detour with them.
The news about Istu's Ugfilthia spread like wild fire at school and I guess
Istu got wind of it. He was avoided like a plague by men and women, young and
old, of the community. His small band of marauding idiots began to abandon
him. Istu became so lonely, he had to move to another town where he became the
one to be bullied.
I don't know what the moral of the story is, but it ought to wake up all
bullies. Especially the ones that are ugly and filthy. I know what you're
thinking Father Mose. You think I got really scared of Istu and decided to concoct
the ugfilthia story. Well, you're entitled to your friggin PDOIS opinion Gad
Damn it. I ain't tellin one way or the other. We'll just have to find out at
the junction.
