one day I asked them, what is your weird food?
not comfort food,
weird food.
Mira, the picnic girl she is, eats salty rice cracker with a sweet, sweet, thick, condensed milk
in fact, she likes to eat almost anything with a sweet, sweet, thick, condensed milk
she always smiles when she does
and it always gives me a fuzz.
Isti, while living a life with the samurai descendants, once tried a half-raw octopus leg
not with beer, although her friends beg
she swallowed the squirmy chunks with a healthy vitamin C
perhaps making it more gullible?
and not giving you collywobble?
Fikri, ol' brother o' mine, smashes the plain yogurt with no less than a plain oatmeal
he savor it in the morning, he savor it in the evening
and he thinks it's just a twaddle
when I said he eats like a model
he tried to give me a spook
when I ran and say it looked like a puke
the weird food I loved,
iced cappuccino with fresh sliced mango,
it doesn't taste good, I do admit
but I laugh when I eat it
for the giddiness of the tummy
and the idea of being rummy
oh the weird food we loved!
octopus leg and salty crackers
we're the only one who knows the taste best
and giggles when people make weird face
perhaps some think us nutter
but we do know better
like Silly Sesshy who nibbling at the pencil lead,
maybe it's better than
tortilla chips and milk!
