Said a visitor to these beautiful shores
“I was in the loo

With a roll of Charmin in his hand

Legalize It!

Legalize It

Time to decriminalize
Seeds and stems
Something to ease the stress
Should be embraced and blessed
Weed is not crack
Don’t be confused by that
Take a quick look at the facts
Only poor people going to jail
Rich ones never smoke weed
or so it would seem
All of dem who think we is jackass
That pretend they never hear
Puff puff pass
When they was young
Behaving like Cheech and Chong

Sitting on high as magistrates
Passing sentence
Without a thought of
"there goes me
But for the color of my skin
Or the circumstance of birth
It could have been me in the dock
Suffering this unmerciful gaze"

Sentenced to a prison most inhumane
For daring to roll a joint
For sharing in a rite of passage
Of young people everywhere
Every President of the United States
Admitted to smoking the stuff
Clinton says he didn’t inhale
Obama just smiled knowingly

Aint is some shit
To go to jail
For chasing the mystic
Kali weed brought to these shores
By the indentured Indian
To ease his woes
Free the mind
Release the soul
Now you looking to jail the youth
Condemn him for a victimless crime
Would you rather he drink the rum
Or smoke the legal tender one

None of we could pass
A lie detector test
Based on ganja breds
So let’s stop fooling ourselves
stop the hypocrisy 
About what we do
Let the poor man have a smoke too.

Super Kyaat

Super Kyaat

The Jamaican Supa cat is a don dada
This Guyanese one is a damm li-ah
Doing  things in a vindictive way
Kicking Brav and Polly
In they stones today
Claiming no malice exists
From when the men walk away
Cause they din know they pay

Like yuh tek we all fuh dunce
Yuh insulting the fan in the street
Even Ramnarine Swarwan had to tweet
Who drop dese men?
Wha’ stupidee do eet?

Wha’ rebuilding yuh talking ‘bout
Yuh ent know we turn dat corner long
Ask Goatish fuh send the report
Dat claim we ready fuh  beat the world
Twenty/ twenty we do fuh dem
Then we turn the karner and come back again
Dis team dat yuh pick hey
Putting  Cart fuh pull harse
50 overs gun look murderous

All in all 
We would-ah be glad
If yuh did talk the truth
seh wha' yuh gah fuh seh
have no fear, do quick
An' clear the air
These lies and deceit
Jus’ lef the fan in despair
There is a difference between
A cat and a kyaat
But yuh mudder and fadder
Shoulda teach you dat!

Whoreville

Another day another request to play “Farmville”…. Is wha wrang with Guyanese, is bored they bored? Lemme see what dis thing is about, hmm, a pretend farm where yuh could milk cow , play with the animals , watch eggs grow, heh, not bad and look they have other game Cityville, mek yuh own town, one dat doan flood when rain set up, no fridge-boat taxi service, looks nice, I wonder if they have one based on Guyana, ah gun write Zynga and find out….

1 week later
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Dear Mr. Snoozer,
While we have no games based on Ghana, we thank you for your enquiries, if you believe that a game based on your country would be popular and well received by the global village based on its uniqueness, please submit an outline and we will evaluate it, should it be selected as a development target, Zynga Corp. will pay you One Million United States Dollars and negotiate a royalty fee on all income earned by the game.

Sincerely

A Big Shot
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Well , a milli, a milli, a milli-on-aire, now we talking GT language, Guysnooze boss put all the staff to work,.
Go minions, seek, find, report, let’s do this thing!, with those words ringing in dem ears, all the reporters scattered and looked in every nook and cranny of Guyanese life and duly reported back to the boss man.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………


Dear Big Shot,
Ah gat ah game fuh yuh, it is based on life in Guyana and has been researched by a team of intrepid reporters, it is based on the uniqueness of life in GUYANA, nah confuse we with Ghana again, unless yuh meet a man name sam Blinds, he from Ghana, the rest of we from Guyana, kool, now to the business at hand.

The game will be called “WHOREVILLE” , risqué , but all aspects of life in our country involve some form of whoring, this is how the thing would work:

Players can choose to be either Johns or Whores to begin, then as they gain experience they would move up or down the scale of life, in Guyana  for example, many Johns become Pimps, the most successful pimps can move on to being Drug dealers, then drug exporters, so that could be one line of development, or the John could choose to become a businessman, then he could earn money for more whoring, Whores can start as street walkers, then move up to strippers or down to Sheriff Street walkers, there is always higher or lower to go, think of the excitement, whoring on Sheriff Street and bam! Up pulls a Benz, next minute the John is partying with you in da club! , off the hook you say, every night business in GT, so below I will lay out some paths of progress up or down the Whoreville ladder.

Whore (female)-Madame -Social Whore- Society Wife.

Whore (female) –Sherrif Street Whore-Junkie Whore- Junkie

Whore (male)-Cathedral Girl- Sewage Technician-Politician’s darling- Kept Girl- Water Manager

John- Drug Dealer-Drug Exporter- Human Trafficker-Respectable Businessman-Pillar of Society-Paragon of Virtue

John- pimp-pickpocket-briefcase and tie conman-NGO founder-High class conman.

John- Pimp- Junior Politician-Minister- Senior Minister- Prime Minister-President.

We at Guysnooze are sure you will be a little confused at first, but these are daily occurrences in our sugar and rice republic, we are willing to work with you to work out the various progressions and inter-relationships, we have no doubt this will be a Fantastic!® game, or so we have been told by the Captain.
The marketing of the game can be done with the phrase “All ah we is Whores”®
Make check out to Rxxxx Sxxxx.
Cheers
Guysnoozers

JE SUIS CHARLIE

JE SUIS CHARLIE

The attack on satire magazine Charlie Hebdo headquarters in France demands a response, but how do you write to enlighten people,who, if they read it WILL try to kill you.
But we must try, too many of us were quiet and stood idly by when the “Fatwa” was issued against Salman Rushdie for his “Satanic Verses” , I am of age, I have a means of communication, I write therefore I am, with my favourite verse of Lord Macaulay’s Horatius at the Bridge singing in my head

“To every man upon this earth
  Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
  Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
  And the temples of his gods,

“And for the tender mother
  Who dandled him to rest,
And for the wife who nurses
  His baby at her breast,
And for the holy maidens
  Who feed the eternal flame,—
To save them from false Sextus
  That wrought the deed of shame?

I sail forth with my opinion, my stand, my message to the extremists who seek to tear our way of life down, to terrorize us into accepting their way , their version of how life should be lived.

Dear Believer,

I feel compelled to share my truth with you, it seems despite your label and strong bold actions, you have very little actual belief in your god and his prophet, no all powerful god needs servants to make attacks and run away, to needlessly sacrifice their life and that of others to satisfy him, GOD cannot want you to act for him, is your faith so little you trust your judgement is better than his? Are you really his servant or are you destined for his pit of hell for your hubris? 

Western society and its norms offend you, but you leave your ancestral homes to seek shelter in it, you live in another man’s land and defile his hospitality in a most vile manner, no GOD demands this of you, no religion asks or condones such behaviour, when you feel the anger, the hate, the humiliation building against those that offer you shelter, it is time to go peacefully back home.
The violent actions by the few of you who perpetrate them brings much shame to your religion, it can make no all powerful GOD happy to know his followers , his believers, think him so weak and impotent that they take action for him, you defile the very GOD you seek to avenge, SHAME ON YOU.

Then there are the silent supporters of your actions, they too must do some soul searching and examine if they really do believe and if life in the west is their best path to inner peace and true happiness.
We in the western world have gone through this phase of acting on behalf of GOD many centuries ago, we view your actions as ancient, barbaric and outdated, if you cannot adapt to life in western civilization, you are not wanted here, go back to your ancestral homes peacefully, that action will make the world a better place and that must make your GOD happy.


Go In peace from this maddening place my brother, Assalamu alaikum.

Guysnooze Week in News 01-5-2015 or is it 05-01-2015?

Guysnooze Week in News 01-5-2015 or is it 05-01-2015?

The official probe of the mysterious illness at a popular call center was released last week, the probe commissioned after workers say they were accosted by a raging Jumbie and the spirits “tek dem” found that the most likely non-supernatural cause of the mass illness was probably poor ventilation, the report added that the poor ventilation probably ‘mek the Jumbies vex” causing the Jumbies to revolt, it noted that there was a power outage and the Jumbies like living people have feelings and all in all is GPL fault. No one at GPL commented officially o the report, but off the record comments suggest that the GPl workers were afraid of riling up the “Jumbie Posse” “is bad enough that the populace, led by well know actor and rabble rouser Ajay B does get vex, but Jumbie is another thing by itself”.  Guysnooze reporters did not follow up as they too know what its like to work with a raging Jumbie for a boss.

A well know airline today revealed 25 Guyanese flight attendants to the travelling public, amidst much fanfare and in a pageant like atmosphere (Playing on the Guyanese weakness for pageantry) the new attendants strolled down the runway to the strains of Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come” , customers of the new airline applauded the show but suggested it would be better if a “Plane was Gonna Come”  ,…… “anytime banna, anytime, I gah fuh get back to me jab” said one anxious passenger, who was apparently living in fear of his Uncle Sam.

In unrelated news, Tourist Minister , Infant Oily declared a new initiative whereby 25 new mini-bus conductors  would be employed by the ministry, stating that these were persons highly trained to work in the airline industry, but who have yet to catch a plane, the attendants as they will be called would be given a brief refresher in the reality of being a mini-bus conductor, phrases such as “small up yuhself  bigman”, “there is always space fuh one mo” “the driver seh he like yuh” would be added to the attendants repertoire replacing that nonsense they learned about seatbelts and turning off mobile devices.

Beleaguered Waste Indies Bored today added the Dolly Lamma to its public enemy list, blaming him for agitating and being the catalyst for the strike and subsequent abandonment of the tour of India in 2014, said one well known anonymous bored member as he sipped his scotch, “is the damm Dolly Lammer, dem bais was good till they meet he, then baddam! All of them discontented, want money, paper fuh sign and to be treated as workers, I tell you, I could see why China ban he, the man is a shit stirrer, doan leh all the wise old man act fool yuh”  he also added ‘wha kinda man does name Dolly? And tell he we want we shirt back!” . 

Guysnooze contacted the holy man only to be told that all questions should go through local PR guru Tagman, it seems we are headed for round two in the Tagman v Cricketman battle, in round one Cricketman accused Tagman of working for money and not morals, Tagman responded with the now popular refrain “all awhee is whores” , we look forward to the continuation of this battle of twits er-ahm…wits.

Popular author Rueful Johansen’s girlfriend today launched her new novella , a redux of “Taming of the Shrew” in which the prize whining author is subject to daily problems such as being on time and taking a haircut while being subjected to the requisite nagging associated  with such activities.
The Caribbean Press has already inked a deal to publish the work entitled The Taming of the Bro. Culture minister Flank said “ if only I knew this was all it would take to keep the brother quiet….”

Guysnooze will be bring you an exclusive on the APNU-AFC talks , we done bug the room but they keep postponing the meeting, like they think is a “committee” they deh pun!

Guysnooze Week in news 2-01-2015

Guysnooze Week in news 2-01-2015

Dynamic airways  filed it class action lawsuit defence, in it the airline stated that passengers had to be illiterate to file the lawsuit about changing status and times for flights, the very word “Dynamic” means ever changing, how could we know our clients from tiny island of Ghana south America, could not understand such simple English? The beleaguered airline also stated they could not understand how the passengers could file a “class” action suit since all were booked in low-class or economy as it’s called.

In an odd turn of events, a recording purporting to be that of the President explaining how his predecessor would have handled idiotic behaviour and questions surfaced after a three week delay, Guysnooze hurried to the airport to have a quick interview with the former president before his departure to Bangladesh to observe Bangladeshi's in their electoral environment.

GSZ: Any comments on the suggestion you would resort to slapping as a campaign strategy to win over hinterland communities?

Jaggy:  “Me? …..
I never slap nobody in mih life,
Not even mih pretend wife
How I get involved in this Slapgate?
Fus' of all this tape come late
Three weeks to come to light
Is a bit suspicions to me
But there is no limit to gullibility
Dem jus mekking up stories about us
Cause they peanut butter and jealous.”

GSZ: "Interview" Terminated.


Prize whining writer Rueful Johansen posted a question on Social media outlet Facebook asking others for thoughts on his future as a writer or a possible move into the political arena, this was a marked departure from the regular Johansen style of democracy in which you were told what your opinion was failing which you were a card carrying member of the PPP or a noxious racist, house-slavey type etc., we at Guysnooze were puzzled by this 180 degree turnaround until we realized his girlfriend was visiting and he was “getting some” , after all it has been said if Gandhi had eaten a good steak he would not have embarked on hunger strikes…….

Comrade Green Shirt was reportedly upset when flyers surfaced showing him in the company of Hitler and Saddam, the ex-solider was disturbed that supporters thought he was good enough to be in such illustrious company,"I am the unknown solider by comparison, the achievements of those men who wrested power by sheer will power, guns, guts and glory are way beyond my ambitions, I plan to wuk this ballot box thing to death". One cricket wag responded by making a flyer aligning Hitler, Ralph Gonsalves and cousin Duckswhal, local columnist Fredswhal, was heard to exclaim "I knew it, we are in Nazi Germany! " , somebody please tek way he "Hindenburg juice'
