The Rake Master says… Bank on 25, 33 & 30

The Rake Master says… Bank on 25, 33 & 30

Friends, whether yuh use crowd, John Crow or money, 25 should still be a hot number this week.

In the case of crowd, it could be a big one or a lack thereof as we witnessed at the two locations at the end of the memorable events on February 25.

And what a thing? As the man seh, John Crow must show certain people that dem can vote.

And the other thing was that stacks of cash were being given away left, right and centre. But all in all, the result was a shocker for plenty of us.

That is what yuh call a dark horse (18). Some people did seh that it would end 28, 35 in favour of the ruling party; others seh it would be 27, 36.

Some did seh di green man wouldn’t add anything to the 21. But in the end, the shocking 33 to 30 seats were declared. That’s a three (3) seat difference.

I hope you get the rake. But why people are having so many funerals (27)? A march up and dung wid coffin (25 again) and a bury (7) whole heap a effigy.

If dem know what good fi dem, dem would just stop the gloating ’cause di recounting is on in earnest.
