so here's to 2008.
a year of bad trauma
bouts of rotten drama
where my teeth have sunk in
to anything but Renoma's (:P)
moneys a problem
we know that for sure
but distractions like the Olympics
have such an allure
gone is the white rabbit
whose sweets have added poison
but HIV is on the increase
proof is sores & leisons
thailand has begun
its political turmoil
how it has affected me
is my shopping recoil :(
it's a time for change
for the US white house
by Barack Obama
and michelle in a faaabulous blouse.
Onto local grounds
where recession has hit
no one loves money pinching
not even one bit
the lehman brothers
have seem to disappear
but why are such ugly labels still around
like the perfume La Mer ?
AIG has finished
its manchester jersey spree
but the aunties in bugis are still
hawking "buy 2 get 1 jersey free!"
charity organisations have
been in the questioning limelight
so why bother in donating
with all might?
the community's been
in quite a despair
but thanks to the good people who have
aided in its repair
HIV AIDs cases are
soaring evermore
so please use a condom
lest you want a cold sore
the Singapore Flyer
has stopped 6 times
so before you go up again
i'd suggest Vodka & Limes
The festive shopping mood
has taken a dip
but that shouldn't affect
or let this New Year slip
with friends around
and movies galore
i can swear that i myself
am still the holiday whore :P
just remember not to stuff yourself
with those cakes and apple pie
coz when you stand on the weighing machine
you know those numbers don't lie
cherish your friends,
tighten your belt,
coz this coming year
your assets gonna melt (amen!)
love your bestie
love your hag
love your family
love your fag
so i say sayonara to 2008,
you've been a great date,
but i'm sleeping with 2009,
i hate to be late.
Back to work tomorrow,
unfortunately so,
but bring out the ang pows
says the lunar new year ho
happy new year!
