BILL 17 and ROTUMA: We don't know what the KaiIndia's plans are for ROTUMA but some Rotumans can atleast LAUGH it out in Lockdown in marital terms. But recall Village By-Laws and condition for village house!

​2021 (PARTIAL) LOCKDOWN LAUGHTER No. 26, the FIJI LANDS ACT,
BILL 17 in marital terms; laughter good for the soul!

me WIFE asked the reason for
BILL 17
so in poetic sway i replied:
i married you in ‘82,
i LEASED you from your tribe
— for the past 38-plus years,
i couldn’t RUN AWAY --

the MARITAL MORTGAGE was
in my name,
your tribe, the LESSOR
... if i do wrong, they HUNT me
the church ‘n’ tribal council
PROTECTED the lessor’s
interest — YOU
... double protection ...

(at this point, i made sure she didn’t
hold a rolling pin in her hand)

NOW, hehehe... NOW, the
church ‘n’ tribal council’s (CTC)
protective powers are gone
... so, SO ... hehehehe ... i can
‘change the marital lease a bit ...

like LOOK FOR ...ummh...
... and you can’t claim
MAINTENANCE ... or ...
REDRESS or complain
to your tribe ... or ... email
the CTC ...
​
before i could show her a
FANCY FLOW CHART
she FIXED her eye on me
and i instantly SHOOK MY HEAD
‘n’ vowed OBEDIENCE!
(PHOTO: now don’t you mislead me!)

VILLAGE BY-LAWS: But this KaiIndia's hated 
Village By-Law Bill, endorsed by the Kailoma Bainimarama, was NO laughing matter
