They say Idi Amin had a white sister

As you all know, my dear gay bunch, I’ve never been so wary of any decision in my life as when I decided to move my ass back to the Netherlands.
The more I went on about premonition, this jewel in the crown of super-consciousness, the more you all insisted I ‘d been living far too long in the land of rumour and superstition… where men dress as women for fear of being eaten alive by a vengeful ghost with an appetite for unfaithful husbands.

Well, in case my letters didn’t convince all of you that life overhere at times can be spooky, to say the least, allow me to invite you infidels to a realm where no-one has ever before dared to set foot…rumours say it exists only in the imagination of the happy few, the chosen.
If so…fine by me, along with them I’ve taken my precautions, such as changing my name into ‘De Wit’, a real Dutch name to cover my ass in case descendants of French Huguenots get their call.

Up to now there are some 127 boys missing in The Netherlands, they vanished from a shelter for refugees. Nothing to worry really, them just being from India; would they have been from a decent country, where people are properly white and all, it might have been been somewhat different, but in this case nobody takes even the slightest bit of notice to the rumour that is buzzing through the streets ever more loudly by the day…a rumour that wants us to believe that a government minister keeps the neatly chopped corpses of those missing guys in her fridge.

‘Verdonkeremaand’ is the Dutch word for ‘Embezzle’…a new dictionary will probably explain that, besides money, one can embezzle boys just as easy.
One thing though, ‘Verdonk’ being the name of the government person who some believe to be a sister of Idi Amin is one thing…I will for ever fail to see what that’s got to do with cosmic poetry (read: coincedence).

Chaos ruling as ever, the latest news is that some of the missing boys ended up in Teheran while others insist it is just the first bunch of gays that has been sent back to where they came from; they’ve apparently been told they’re safe as long as they don’t show off their homosexuality…lest they’re willing to go around in a burqa, cross-dressing is a definite no-no.
Some of those boys now feel the heat and ask themselves if really all there is for them to choose would be the gallows in Teheran or the fridge of Amin’s little sister.
Can you believe that?
