hala oi, ‘ning mga kolokoy
wala sila kahibalo ‘nus-a
ang grade six pupil, hibalo na
mga obispo, padre damaso,
abugado, wala pa
paskang paita
siguro absent sila
teacher, paki-repeat lang
kay daghan mabuang
ka simple nga question
ila pa jud magik-magikon
no wonder ang ‘pinas
over-population
pero in fairness ngadto
sa wala makahibalo
kini lang akong ikasulti
life begins at 40!
