Despot about the house

Edit 2

MORGAN TASNGARI IS WAKING UP IN BED NEXT TO ROBERT MUGABE.

ROBERT

Morning Morgan ready for another day of power sharing?

MORGAN

Yes Robert. When I agreed to share power this isn't what I had in mind.

ROBERT

It's only fair, we do everything together. We shave together, we pee together.

MORGAN

What if I need a poo?

ROBERT

You get on the phone to Mmbeki sharpish.

MORGAN.

Look Robert this share isn't working out; you never flush the loo, you won't feed the cat and I bloody cleaned the fridge yesterday.

ROBERT

And a lovely job you did to.

MORGAN

The milks all gone, you ate my sandwich which clearly had "Morgan Tsangari's sandwich do not eat," on it and the ruddy fridge. It's full of the corpses of MDC members, I can't fit my dairylee in anywhere.

ROBERT

Well you want me to put them in the wheely bin and get us fined?

MORGAN

That's not the point. I think we need a new person in this power share. I git us a flatmate.

GEORGE BUSH

Hey guys, George done brought his half the gas bill.

GEORGE BREAKS WIND NOISILY.

ROBERT

Morgan you plonker. No unemployed, DSS or learning disabled he's all 3.

MORGAN

Doh! Sorry Robert.

Join us next week for despot about the house. When Mr Mmbecki wants to know who gave his people cholera.

Very good. I'd love to see more of Mugabe and Tsangverai in bed like Morecambe & Wise.

Oh good that was the original vision.

They do seem to have a weirdly chummy relationship.

Ace. For a sec, I thought there might be a "power" sharing pun (involving an electricity bill or something). But you've gone beyond such mediocre devices. Great sketch.

Very funny satire, Sooty.

'and he's bringing Barrack Obama.' - is nothing sacred with you? :)

Mockery is often close to flattery, I hope.

Now that was one clever sketch. One of those that makes you wish you'd have had that idea. Like the way it fits the odd couple typical comedy cliches (e.g.sharing toilet) in with the topical jokes. Expect to see many more variations in the future
