"He's a Son of a Gun."
I bought an old notebook and a yellow pencil the other day, with the intention of penning down my thoughts onto paper. So I wrote a random, supposedly emo piece of pseudo poetry while people-watching at a cafe. Was not exactly a fantastic day, weather-wise. It was unusually hot and incredibly humid. I had wanted to soak up the sun, but soon regretted choosing an outdoor table because there was hardly any breeze. I couldn't head back indoors since I didn't want to look spastic or fickle minded - like anyone gave a fuck. I couldn't leave because I didn't want to waste my cup of iced-tea, and I didn't want to spend my day off sleeping away. I needed to finish my book - because my Life Plan said so, even if the man kinda already lost me there at Chapter 18: Buddha's Eyelash. Realised my sad, miserable, boring little life is dictated by some random words scribbled down on a notebook. Read more books, less magazines. I should clean up my room, I wrote.
I didn't know how to finish my jaded-inspired couplet.
My iced-tea was tasteless.
I found the notebook and the pencil today, stashed under the mangrove of wires on my table.

shuming bought pencil and paper for no reason one day
wondering if he can pass off with a writer seh
people at the cafe thought he was a cheekopeh
who precariously stuffed in his shirt a bunch of hay
it was hot and humid; kept his ideas at bay
couldn't get indoors to write, try as he may
'cos he realised for his latte that he didn't pay
so he hooked up with a gay
who gorged himself with spoiled parfait
telling him that's not the way to eat, Jose
"let me bring you to this nice buffet,"
but the restaurant don't serve buffet on wednesdays
so they ended up eating kacang puteh
at the nicely renovated cathay.
fantastic limerick!
