George Wright must be having a good holiday
A little over a week has passed since George Wright, the elected member of the House of Representatives, was granted two months’ leave to go and put his feet high at any of the posh resorts that border his Westmoreland Central constituency.
Why was he so rewarded? Well, he was said to have featured in a box office, action-packed scene, which he has a problem admitting, or denying. But there was action somewhere, and so tired did he get that he needed time from the Parliament to rest.
I wonder what George’s average day is like since he was so generously rewarded by House Speaker Marisa Dalrymple Phillibert?
Continental breakfast cannot be the way to go. Oh no, it must be a choice of ackee, salt fish, corned pork cooked in chef
Wyatt “Spur” Williams’ style... oops, hope he is not Adventist and seeks to bun fire; but surely, salt mackerel, even liver and kidney to put back some iron in the system. Callaloo is good too, going down with some good St Vincent yam, tight dumpling, and St Mary banana. Pear (avocado) is out of season, so other fruits will have to make their way to the table. Wash that down with some chocolate tea, or the inthing, turmeric and ginger, and brother George would be well on his way to having a good day.
Splashing in the sea while the constituency that he was elected to serve is left breathless, could take him up to noon, and after that the lunch meal could be anything from curry goat, brown stew or grilled fish, or pot roast chicken, partnered by two beers, or if he can stand on his own feet, a flash of Appleton 12-year-old rum. For dinner, a meaty kind not touched at lunchtime could suffice, digested by watching the latest Netflix production late into the night until most is repeated at dawn. Might I suggest to George that he tries to go back in time to some of the most entertaining karate/kung fu vintage films, while he is at it.
That’s the privilege of getting two months off from representing the people in the House of Representatives for supposedly starring in an action packed movie — all scot-free.
