The Comedy House Ii: the Rats

Bewitched with irri- tating glows,they ransacks the purse and 'ijawo'; those rats! Breaking news; The Headline: "3 husky rats ransacking the purse of the nation." The news: As noted in the headline of today's consciousness-leaking news. We'll have to say this with Annointed regret that 3 hoodlums With pointed teeths had just robbed the nation of a frugal amount of papers. Hence, the federal government had just concluded to Deep their anxious hands into the weeping purse of the nation,with regards to buying a distilled insecticide to eliminate the husky hoodlums. Hence,the federal government has taken '4 billion naira' to carry out this operation,respecting the uninterested interest of the masses. Here is the news. N.T.A 7:00pm. Deola......" Prophesy has come to pass. 'Ekule Ole' and cray fish not worth than #5,000. When mingled and moistured can conspicously carry out the opera- tion successfully. Then why '4 billion naira?'- won't accept this offer if to me offered. Such amount for rats?........ Hmmm....these rats! Who are these rats?- Rats with two hands,two eyes,two legs,a nose. Rat whose glottis is active. Full of themselves,claiming rights Graced with deceptive life swimming and vividly drown in ocean of lies. These rats! Leaves their abode at mid-day,travels to other forests to hunt riches. Hunt?..... No!, squander the riches they've gotten from the purse of their masters- suffering masters. After showcasing their wealth In those forest. Then,they'll saunter back into the waiting cupboard and steal 'Meats from pots', 'Eat some part of the bread- they're already satisfied'. They'll resume their usuall relay. And return the same circle. Maybe you know those rats. Those rats on Agbada-mehn! Driving luxurious jeeps,living in braw duplexes bewitched with fumming air conditioners. Those rats that are always hungry- contending for post and Ranks. Buying different PARTS for their Draining CARS. Hope you know these rats. I think we truly need to eliminate these RATS with Iron insecticides,pushing them into the ocean of remonstration and patriotic regrets. Those RATS should go through those famished Bullets!. Or what do you think? Hmmm.....these rats! 17:01:09:13:11
