PRIZE WINNING WRITER Jeffrey Mane Febi is doing well in early counting in the Lufa Open electorate (Eastern Highlands). Counting began yesterday.

Last year, Jeff won the Crocodile Prize for Short Stories in the inaugural national literary awards. He is also a talented poet.

While on the campaign trail he wrote two articles for PNG Attitude, which you can read here and here.

We’ll keep you informed of Jeff’s progress as the count in Lufa proceeds.

And, as I completed this short piece, the email alarm pinged and out spurted a short poem just written by Jeff….

Election bullshit

Fortune they spent
A tune they sent
Then dreams they see
And dance they in glee
But what of the bullshit?
Heart a many witness it!
So now who is to blame?
For this isn't a game!
Tell me now while I wait
Yell as if it is not a bait.
