#BTSpeakingOut – A short story: Dear John

Once upon a time, a man won a seat with promises to help his people in St Philip.

Three years later, he announced that he didn’t want the seat anymore but he still wanted to help his people in St Philip.

While some residents were saying that statement made no sense, others suggested he got pushed, one Cottage Land lady said not to worry that perhaps in two years’ time he might be inspired by a signature tune: “I’m Back!”

Another said, “That Johnny Ma Boy” was a good man and if he could done, just so, “How Many More, oh Jah?” Many in the East, and not necessarily wise men, are waiting to see if he will canvass for his replacement when elections are called. The end.
