a little Haiku below for the midsummer night's rain. :)

A fork of lightning
staggers the proud sunflowers.
Summer's relenting.

Renga # 20

We dress the children

in our old clothing.

Tingnan mo, isang manok.

Hubad, pero dressed. Gets mo?

Ang tagal mo ring ma-gets nun.

I can't blame you.

But the children look cute.

Sabi ni Boy Abunda

we should avoid eating buttered

anything. We'll get fat eating them

raw.

Oo, madaling maalala nung tayo

ang nagmukhang manok. Gusto ko

sanang mukhang linechon,

pero sabi mo, huwag,

hindi exciting.

Better not to leave

the skin on.

Mas nakakataba ang may balat.

Masyado ka namang balat

Ilabas na ang tinapay! Mapapakain ako.


Wasaaak! Rakenrol! Hwoooooo!
