The Dictator

Would you believe that a former dictator has moved in next door? This man was overthrown because he drove his countrymen crazy. Tuesday was laundry day and every citizen had to do his laundry or be arrested. He wrote, directed and starred in his own TV cop show. Again, everyone had to watch it or be thrown in jail.
Now that he’s my neighbor, he’s trying to do the same here. He ran for Mayor, was elected, and had a law passed that men have to call him on Monday’s to say “Good Morning, Your Highness”, and women have to call on Thursdays to sing him a song. (Any song will do.) Children are required to do his laundry on Tuesdays. (Just like in the old country.) For people who don’t comply, the police write tickets. I’m afraid there will be an uprising.
