Another badventist past-her
De talk about reincarnation came up and Lie-Za was listing de names ah persons she wanted to come back as, pure big shots. So ah told her dat many years ago, dey was ah Kaiso on dat same topic, composed by de Mighty Spoiler, one ah de greatest Kaisonians coming out ah TânâT; when it come to imagination, de Mighty Spoiler was de greatest âimaginatorâ.{{more}}
In his Kaiso he wanted to come back as ah Bed Bug âto bite dem young ladies pardnahâ. Den ah told her dat my cousin Junior say, he want to come back as one ah dem rocks pon de Villa Beach, to see what will happen when dem girls sit down pon he.
Ah tell her when ah die ah want to move on, ah donât want to come back dis side foh all de tea in China.
Jokingly ah told her dat Mighty Spoiler wanted to be an Insect, Cousin Junior ah Rock on de beach, maybe she could think of becoming ah Mammal like ah Bat.
Dat interestingly, ah just got ah e-mail on ah âBatâ from Cheryl Fills-King, ah punning pon de middle name, she is from de Phylls family out ah Villa Hill. Her hubby is Dr Balwyn King, ah scientist/professor/whatever, to be honest some years ago he did, with great reluctance and modesty, give me ah run-down ah what his field ah expertise was, is nuff thing behind his name, too much foh my ole brain to remember, but nuff to mek yuh proud ah Vincy.
Yes Cheryl sent me dis clip way Bat researchers have discovered new species on St. Vincent island. It reads: âResearch has uncovered what was necessary for an uncommon hybrid species of Bats to thrive where other mammal hybrids have failedâ. Lower down de article says: âSometime in the last 30,000 years or so, two separate bat species colonized the Caribbean and converged on islands in the southern Lesser Antilles.
One came from Mexico while the other traveled from northern South America.
They likely met a third species already there, and all were genetically similar enough to mate and create a rare progeny in mammals â a viable hybrid that could reproduce and was larger and more robust than its parent speciesâ. Dey even naming de Bat after our Garifuna people, de blended culture of Carib, Arawak and West African people.
Lie-Za was impressed but canât see herself coming back as ah Bat, she say dey does roam all night and sleep upside down all day.
Ah told her dat ole people say de reason why Bat got to sleep upside down, is because it did tun E bottom up to heaven to disrespect God. She tell me in dat case, ley NDP use it when dey reincarnate, dat must be de same Bat Sir James used to âBat but donât scoreâ! She say dat âNDP Batsâ will counter well wid âULP Ratsâ!
However she insisted dat ah must say what ah want to be when ah come back hey. So she started to bait me: âHow bout if yuh get to come back as Prime Minister, yuh donât have to tell lies, and yuh donât have to get up four-day-marning say yuh drink Andrews live-her saltsâ, she said. âNot interested â ah told her.
âHow bout ah Speaker in de Houseâ she asked, âde only problem is, yuh will have to move around in ah wheel-chair, dey using beer to mek face and jelly to mek spine foh dem Speakers now-ah-daysâ!
Ah kept on listening because ah know is something she want to get off she stum-ache.
âAh!â she said, âah know what yuh will really like to come back as, something religiousâ. Ah seeing mischief all over she face.
âHow bout ah Badventist Past-herâ, she asked. âAll yuh got to do is be like Bro. Fill-Hip who lef de pull-pit and Fill-Hop de Ambassador poze in Canada. Or yuh could dress-up in de most expensive suits and walk town street daily like Bro Edâs son, mucho Gusto; mek de women-nicer, and Miss Behave wid de woman-I-sawâ!
To be honest her suggestion sounded tempting. âLey me ask yuh one questionâ ah said to her. âWhat do I get in exchange foh my Soulâ? Lie-Za got answers to questions dat ainât mek yet; she said to me: âDe PM will send yuh to Wash-in-town as anotherâ⦠same time ah interrupted her and said: âAs another Ambassadorâ. She shook she head from left to right: âNo! No ! yuh will be ah Madventistâ!
My apologies to de genuine Seventh Day Adventist, no disrespect meant at all!
And wid dat is gone ah gone again.
One Love Bassy.
