As you know, meray aziz humwatno, Al-King summoned me and army chief. In Al-King’s presence I bowed low. “O al-abaster skinned one! We have come with al-acrity as soon as you rang the al-arm. What we can do for you, o al-batross around our necks!”
Al-king glowered at us, “your ingratitude is al-arming! How dare you refuse to send al-lotted al-exanders to fight our enemies? We have been paying al-imony for your al-ignment so that you can al-leviate our insecurity and fight our al-ienated enemies”. “Al-ack and al-as! O al-abaster skinned al-batross! It is just that our al-exanders are al-lergic to Land of Sand. There are too many al-lergens in the sand but our al-liance with you is al-truistic in the extreme”. “We have al-lotted el-ixer of life to you, everything except al-cohol and now you come here to say you cannot fight al-ongside our soldiers in al-Yemen?”
“O al-mighty king! O al-luvial mountain! O high al-titude sickness! O al-ligator of largest swamp! O al-msgiver to al-truists! O al-losaurus tyrranosaurus rex! Do not be al-armed. Do not be al-ienated from us! We are al-ligned to your al-liance. We will al-low al-l mercenaries to pray for you. As you know, we have il-lusion and al-lusion of al-l powerful army but we don’t want to fight other peoples’ wars.”
“O ungrateful wretch!” al-King shouted. “You have al-tered the agreement and are mouthing al-lsorts of rubbish! Clearly, you are no longer al-lies! You are holding al-oof from our most al-arming war! And what is your al-ibi? Nothing, except ingratitude! It is Mother of Al-l Evils!”
“Al-as, o al-ert king! After al-l, it is Mother and Mother still has to be respected.”
With great difficulty, army chief and I escaped from Riyadh and returned to Islamabad. I told him I’m sorry but I desperately need to go to London for some R&R. In London, I met PM David Cameron in No. 10 Downton Abbey.
He was very sweet and gave me tea and biscuits.
