WHENEVER Trinidad out-Trinidads itself – like when the Minister of Works congratulates himself for finding seats on planes at the airports for the thousands of people he stranded at the seaports because he couldn’t get a ferry to work, or Trinidad & Tobago votes against her hurricane-devastated sister, Dominica, and the Prime Minister attempts to repackage fake leadership as fake news – I cheer myself up by printing a few letters from the editor.

The bone-marrow good manners which makes the Trinidadian apologise for robbing you at knifepoint when all self-respecting bandits are using guns nowadays forces me to admit I stole this idea from the National Lampoon, the American satirical magazine that no longer has a place in a world that elected a Russian joke for an American president.

As always, I certify these letters are 100 per cent authentic because I made them up myself.

Sir

Unpatriotic treasonous UNC agents attacking me for my so-called lack of leadership but I am the king of firetrucking leadership; once it ent have nothing to do with ferry-ship.

Hordes of invading Mexican-Hondurans, North Korea stockpiling nukes, Gina throwing tariffs at US goods like rice at a wedding, Cheatin’ Obama still obviously black and Cable Fake News Network still chooses to chase fake news about Russia and Trump! At least everyone has forgotten Stormy now, though.

Pride. Shame. Our way. The respect of the people. Hope itself. All sense of direction. To Ireland. To Afghanistan twice in one tournament. 19 wickets in one day, a Test match in two days. Is there anything we haven’t lost yet? Oh, yes, an ODI by an innings – but give us time.

A letter of marque given to private ships allowed them to outfit with cannon and commit acts that would otherwise be piracy.

Americans can elect an idiot to the presidency. North Koreans can praise a fat, stupid dictator for firing nukes. The planet could warm to boiling point and turn the whole Atlantic Ocean into one big fish broth. World maps could rename Amazon Rainforest as Amazon Desert. We will not give a flying firetruck unless and until profits are threatened.
