MANCHESTER PHOTOS FOR THE CAMEROON PRESIDENT

They came from the house opposite

Someone threw them at us

I don`t know who

They just flew in through the window

And landed on the floor carpet

They were in a medium-sized brown envelope

But the envelope bore no address

When trembling I opened it

I found it contained pictures of the Queen

I mean the Queen and her second husband

But the pictures were so old and so rusty

Who kept them with such carelessness?

Out of curiosity I turned them over

They were seven

And behind each was the inscription

“To the King, my husband”.

I couldn`t understand because

The Queen was in her second marriage

So which husband was it?

These were neither pictures of the queen nor the king

They were of an unknown couple

Who looked like

The President and First Lady of Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe of all places!

Why so, I wondered

Just then a violent wind blew in from outside

Then I heard a female voice whisper in my ear

“Don`t bother! It`s not everything that

You should understand.

But if you don`t like the pictures

Send them to the President of Cameroon!”
