Lois, the Corpse Flower
By Dr. Ghayur Ayub

An interesting budding flower named Lois the Corpse is an item of attraction these days for thousands of visitors to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. It is one of the rarest flowers in the world to bloom. When the flower finally unfurls, the visitors may want to hold their breath because of its powerful rotting meat stench meant to attract flies for pollination. After that, Lois might never bloom again.
We should open our parliament to those inquisitive visitors to show them a few bouquets blooming gloriously in our Senate and Parliament. Some of such flowers even grace the Cabinet. The good news is that they keep on coming back to blossom; thanks to our generous Election Commission which provides them a fertile soil to bloom again and again.
