Dear diary,
As a vagabond am starting to sense a kinship with some fellas I never meet on my walks but I usually see in our daily news papers (read; not just monitor but all of them without discrimination) and no, no, no am not referring to the nude babes in those one’s.
Now where were we…yes sometimes it takes one vagabond to know another! And how you can know this is only by taking a mental check. Mind you this is not a psychiatric ward, so if you persistently meet all the options under my kinship pointers I think you should check in at “Butabika” (just saying)
Take for instance these two fellas; one is called Musisi and another lukwago. No they are not brothers …and please stop using the excuse of load shedding (I said newspapers). So these two fellas have this conflict just like siblings do, about who should show “daddy” how much they are working; by threatening the dogs that actually bark and possibly bite. Oh yeah…and chasing the cat’s meeew!
The kinship pointer
· Irregular in course of behavior and unpredictable
This kinship characteristic is also shared by “the minister of crocodiles”, Britney spears and chameleon.
Now this other fella, I strongly believe was a victim of Hurricane eviction. This storm was not on any weather forecast…no. He never got to see what hit him “wcapa”. This fella (Seya), at the moment has been out of the limelight so am guessing it is not known whether he acquired permanent residence or is still holding onto the strings of the Kampala Mafia to get him “the house”.
Kinship pointer 2
· Wanderer, rover
This kinship is shared by all the guys who built on NEMA’s land (awaiting hurricane NEMA)
How can I forget, Bwana Muammar Gadaffi, the talk of that news paper in vernacular…!” Ekiri e Libya” Anyway this dude is closest to us vagabonds. He is seen on Telly but his exact whereabouts (read: hiding place) are yet to be unveiled.
Kinship pointer 3
· Having no known permanent address
This kinship is shared by the owners of the mobile boutiques in town and now the street vendors
These and a few others in the daily papers are my kinsmen not just because we have a common ancestral line (ask chimp) but because we all have no known permanent address but also because we have bouts of unpredictable and irregular behavior. (However for the former characteristic…butabika )
Warning: if symptoms persist please seek professional help.
Xoxo
