Rats Down-Pants Down

What is it about boys that makes them all snips and snails?

This morning Ocean and IZ are devouring some home grown oranges- juice dripping down their dirty little faces when Ricky walks in-no struts in- with the proudest most gloriest of news that he'd killed the big rat that was running on the roof and a smaller one too besides.

Those boys all but threw the oranges down and tore off running to see the rat exhibition Ricky had prepared for them outside.

When they got back in I had to sit through the narration of how it was 'dis big boiyee-like a mongoose 'den' until the conversation was too exhausting and needed to be replaced by nude wrestling.

Pants thrown with the oranges they ran peepee dogs swinging to try and take down Ricky in all out war.

Whether Afrikan Tribal, Greek Gymnos, Japanese Sumo or Bajan Brawl- men's love will always be for bugs and rats and naked man-on-man fighting.
