Dinosaur Prints In South Africa

 Dear Texans 

TV news tells us that large dinosaur prints have been found in the Lone Star State. 

We are tired of hearing how everything is bigger and better in Texas. Let me tell you that we discovered massive  dinosaur prints in South Africa years ago. You don't hear us going on about it. We call them potholes. You can see them on most South African roads.

What's more, the dinosaurs responsible for those prints are alive and well. Visit our parliament, provincial governments,  municipalities and various political parties. You will see these ponderous beasts at work and play. Be warned that, because of their gargantuan appetites, dinosaur flatulence is a very real problem.

Dinosaur dung covers vast areas of the country. Close examination of the dung tells the story of the typical diet of these behemoths. You will find, among others:

Clear evidence of a prodigious intake and  excretion of cliçhes, slogans and delusions. 

Dried stalks of revolutionary fervour and dreams of a socialist paradise, mixed with chunks of conspicuous capitalist consumption.

A glutinous mess of utopian, Pan-African dreams.

Mushy bits impossible to identify by any means known to human beings.

A favourite food is a herb similar in appearance to lucerne. Our beasts gorge on it and regurgitate great heaps regularly. Here it goes by the isiZulu name of 'Amanga'.

You can tell Governor Abbott that though he may have a bigger fleet of buses than we do, we have him soundly beaten in the dinosaur stakes.

Yours in the struggle to be the biggest and the best.
