Principal: Ah! Chris. Come in.
Chris: You wanted to see me sir?
Principal: Yes Chris. You’ve been Head Boy now for what.. just on 100 days?
Chris: Yes sir.
Principal: And what positive things have you achieved for the school in that time?
Chrs: Well, I..(hesitates trying to think of something)
Principal : (frustrated ) Look Chris… we chose you as Head Boy to take the school forwards.
Instead- what have you done? You’ve taken us backwards!
Chris : It’s not my fault sir..they won’t do what I tell them.
Principal: Who won’t ?
Chirs: Winston and David sir. They gang up on me.
Principal : How do you mean?
Chris : (starts to look a bit weepy) Sometimes they call me names..
Principal : What sort of names?
Chris: Lux Flakes…
Principal: Why’s that?
Chris: Don’t know they just do! (sniffs)…. And ..sometimes they corner me in the Prefect’s Room and say I won’t be Head Boy anymore if I don’t do what they say. ( sniffs again )
Principal: What do they want you to do?
Chris : (hesitates) …They say because I’m Head Boy I should ask you for things.
Principal: What kind of things?
Chris: Like can we change the name of playtime to ‘smoko’?
Principal: Why?
Chris: So we can smoke or vape sir.
Principal: Whose idea was that?
Chris: Umm .. Winston and Casey.
Principal: Who’s Casey?
Chris: She hangs out with Winston.
Principal: ( clearly not happy) mmm…What else?
Chris: Well David says we should stop giving lunches away at school.
Principal: Why?
Chris: Save money..
Principal: Why?
Chris: So we can buy other things.
Principal: Like what?
Chris: Well.. like..Guns.
Principal: Guns? What kind of guns?
Chris : umm…Semi -automatics.. David’s friend Nicole says they are good fun and we should be allowed them at school to play with .
Principal: (incredulous) What??
Chris : Just for sport sir. And you’ d have to be in the gun club to fire them.
Principal: Do YOU think those are good ideas that will make our school better Chris? Do you??
Chris : Well… I don’t know..really…I…
Principal: No you don’t do you Chris …You’ll say anything just to stay Head Boy ….. I have to say Chris you are letting us all down …Are you proud of yourself?
Chris: I…( hesitates)
Principal : (Frustrated) Tuck your shirt in Chris .. and why aren’t you wearing a tie?
Chris: The Year 9’s like it sir. Makes me more accessible.
Principal: (Rolls eyes) Good grief…
(pause) So ..do you have a plan for the next 100 days?
Chris: (looks downcast) Not really.
Principal: ( sighs)
Close the door on your way out would you ?
Love it .
Describes Luxon to a T.
Brilliant!
Brian Bruce is a very welcome addition to the bloggers here.
Another reason to read TDB.
You and Geoff above, are right. Describes wobbly Luxon to a T.
He is the guy who just wants to be popular, whatever it takes.
Satirical but sadly true.
This is the most pathetic government I have ever seen in my 50 odd years of voting.
God knows where we are going to end up.
Very childish.
That’s what parody often is. You would not have commented unless you’d noticed there were a few grains of truth to it.
Ok Joy I concede.
What an accolade from bob1st. Great. Don’t know that word – it’s fizz with some lemon juice added for bite.
Yes, I agree Bob, you are.
Bryan Bruce is well known, Bob not so much, hehe.
Now,now NSC I have built a considerable fan base on the TDB of which you are part of.
I can just see Casey Costello explaining why “the front fell off”.
