When names mean nothing

-

WHEN the great think-tank and playwright, William Shakespear­e said: “There is nothing in a name, that which is called a rose, by any other name, it would be as sweet,” he surely got it right.

This is what Blabber realised after hearing of this other uncultured woman who operates at that other well-known centre where trading is the core business right in the Central Business District.

Hers is a very beautiful name that has stood the test of time across the globe, but more importantl­y it is the same with the biblical matriarch and prophetess.

The name itself is actually a Hebrew word which means a woman of high rank, noblewoman or princess.

Alas, our own sister’s character is miles apart from nobility!

Word reaching Yours Truly is that she is the habit of befriendin­g married women whom she connects with moneyed boyfriends around the city.

Blabber now has a list of married women that she has been pimping for certain male sexual perverts who have no respect at all for the marriage institutio­n.

As that was not enough, this uncivilise­d woman is also leaving her fivemonths-old baby at home, just to catch up with imbibers in the city at that other trendy outlet.

When one sees her moving up and down the cascading stairs at this trendy, upmarket watering hole, with so much zest and energy while salivating at the scent of the wise waters, one can hardly imagine that she a mother to a fivemonths-old baby.

Put simply, she is just a disgrace to everything that motherhood stands for!

Who knows, perhaps, she is bent on destroying other people’s marriages after she failed to keep intact her own affair with this other young car dealer who has since left the country.

For now, we leave it here!

What is this that we hear about broke diamond dealers, some of whom are now into dangerous drugs, reckless and life-threatenin­g habits.

Blabber has noticed that this other young diamond dealer whose name has something to do with freedom and independen­ce is now living the life of a hopeless lout, oaf or hoodlum, whichever term you prefer.

The young man once made a fortune out of the precious stones, but all that he accrued during his time on the fast lane is being sold one by one as he struggles to fund his drug addiction.

Blabber has given you, gentle reader, many stories about fools and their money.

Lest we forget, in the name of preserving the little that remains of our moral fabric, Yours Truly will stop at nothing.

Ciao!!!
