Letters of misunderstanding

ONCE AGAIN Miss Lady had to defend Likkle Miss Jing Bang. Every fish nyam man an shark one get de blame. Somebody find or purport to find or allege sey a letter was found. Dem do not know de time, place nor finder but finger pinting start.

Is not even a letter of such, is a petition. According to de allegator, that is the is "purportraitor" who alleged, de petition was addressed to Her Royal Highness, Queen of England, Elizabeth 11, and smaddy intercept it like is dem name Scotland Yard, dive in like a KingFish an start pint fin pan JB.

BEGGING LETTER

Miss Lady sey is cudden Jing Bang dweet. First of all when she get undercover she cannot be intercepted. Secondly, a petition is a begging letter, like if you are a Minister of Money but you don't have any and you set out on world tour to find some. Dat time you have to look as if you have, for people only give money to people who look like dem have use for it. So you dress up in yu finest, all the better to give the right impression. Well Jing Bang not masquerading to fool one soul. Teck har as yu see har. Or odderwise now people tink dat you have money an dem come for some. But chu being as how dem always going on like dem have, dem shame sey somebody might see dem in yu yard an read de play so dem walk roun de backdoor. Jing Bang naw jimsqueechy. Front door or no door. Straight up. Furdermore, if JB was going to address any Queen it would be The Right Honourable Indomitable Maroon Never Bow or Sell Out Warrior Queen Nanny. Nevertheless, as the great song writer ask, "Must Jesus bear de cross alone and all the world go free", some bad-minded individual decide sey a Jing Bang time fe help him.

EXPOSED

Allegedly, de petition sey:

"Be it resolved..." Furder evidence of framing, for JB is well aware dat nuff tings dung yah is nat resolved, cannot be resolved by a mere Letter of Understanding. A so dem get exposed.

"Be it resolved your Majesty recall some time aback when members of your Parliament did demand that a certain King Charles cease and sekkle from taxing de people without their consent, or proclaiming martial law (a law or a war?) in time of peace, and demand that no subject be imprisoned without cause shown an dat dere be no underhand way to find money for tings dat Parliament don't provide. Missis Queen it come in like dese your subjects read dat part of de history book upside down into physics class an gravity drag it outa dem hand, causing disruptive conduck in de class...

Further recollect, that the great Emancipation Proclamation let it be known that as de first of August did pass over like a breeze, perhaps an ill- wind, an did proclaim great wrath if de subjects did not use up de four years of apprenticeship to show dat dem could behave demself...

Be it also resolved, Dear Queen dat you who are de Master of time knows dat a thousand ages in thy sight are like an evening gone an so only you could proclaim when de four years start and when it done was out pan your balcony into so-so crown an spyglass a watch dem a watch you...

And having regard to de fact dat you did spy wid your likke eye dat 51 per cent of your subjects who glad to be subjected to whatever it pleaseth you to make them the subjects of, did vote an hole it up pan pole for you to see dat dere greatest desire was to shelter under to your tear-up crinoline.

Ascordingly, dem did sen yu much bribes to get you to come back, seeming not to understand dat when you nay you mean nay, you do not want dem in de privacy of your courts, you have no use for bammies or breadfruits preserved with herbal matter an no powers on earth can get you to abolish the visa or lower the cost.

VISA

Seeing dis was misinterpreted to mean dat if Mohammed cannot get de visa to go to Scotland Yard, den Scotland Yard must come to Mohammed, Missis Queen accept dis petition to done de apprenticeship now and send Scotland Yard come. If you wish to make sure doubly sure send Ireland Yard, Wales Yard an throw in some a Sinn Fein Yard fe good measure. Kip de Yardies doagh, for de whole a dem dung yah a play bad an a yu fe have de real bad. Like how you and yu friend George Bush done show sey unnu monopolise what is good for de world, bring him, for it appears dat dese folks know not what is good fe dem. Not even de Anti Terrorist Law doan sen de right fright signal. Maybe Tony cudda come Blare out some sense inna dem aise. Mark, oh, be it finally resolved dat nuttin is to shield one of dem from your shock and awe."

Miss Lady sey is de firs she hear 'bout a petition dat demand all Friends and Associates of Ministers of Money to sign it in exchange for parliamentary approval of funds to maintain their foreign policy for such policies are indeed foreign to de needs and desires of most of de people and instead of driving development, dem driving people to unspeakable acts. But still for all, is not Jing Bang dweet for she doan sen anyting by anonymous and her name is not on it.
