And de Lord said: "Let there be roti" And suddenly ah set ah dougla people just appeared. And the lord said “who art thou peoples” And they cried out unto him “We are Trinis, and art come but for de roti, so dat we may eat and dat our bellies be full while we lick we fingah!.” And de Lord said “Thou art Trinis and thou asketh not for rum?” And one of the peoples giggled and said “ Well we want rum eh, but yuh know is shame we shame to ask yuh Lord.” And the Lord said unto dem “Whatsoever thou wantest thou getest. For tis a free country and thou hast freedom of will, for this is the way of the Lord. For as I made wine for the people at the wedding in Canaan thou shalt have rum if that is what thou wantest” To which a fat face lady said “I pass tru Canaan when we went to de beach in Store bay in Tobago.” Yuh evah went Store bay Lord? Deh does sell rum deh too uhknow?” And the Lord said, “Yes, I loveth Store Bay for tis but few places I can go to relieve the stress causeth by you Rumbos. I was speaking of Canaan by Galilee not in Tobago, oh ye of little understanding.” And de fat face lady said “orhor” And so they eat the roti and lick deh fingah and when deh finish and they beseeched the Lord fuh de rum. And the Lord said unto them “Thou shalt have thine rum; but first thou must play against me a game of cards. And a skinny brown skin fellah named Fatboy asked “ Romie or Wappy?” But before the Lord answered there was a churus of “ROMIE” So Romie they played and the Lord kept wining every time. And, Danny, who was also called Saga and Saga Boy said to the Lord “Lord, why yuh doh leh one ah we win sometimes?” And the Lord said “Like how thou getest paid for times thou workest not?” And Saga boy scrimp up he nose and say “Oh Gor, how yuh bussing out meh files so?” “Buh yuh know ah surprised that yuh playing cards wit we eh” “You is de Lord and all but yuh cool man yuh cool.” And the Lord looked at him with love and said “yes, but yuh losing man yuh losing?” For he was losing but somhow he didn’t mind because he was playing wit de Lord. Then de big head fellah deh call Smally, said to the Lord, “Lord I taught you was a scary terrible man, and ah used to be fraid yuh bun meh in hell but you doh look like yuh goh bun people in hell. And the Lord said “Looks can be deceiving, like some people think John John is hell but you and I knowest that there are little pieces of heaven there." (because Smally lived in John John) "For those who live by love shall be blessed with a heavenly blessing wherever they liveth” And they kept playing cards and talking with the Lord and they seemed like they forgot all about the rum because they were having so much fun. And then suddeny ah hear ah noise like a clock alarm and ah wake up. courtesy de_dave_i_am |
