(Dedication: For my homeland on SG50) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's to our fifty years Of blood and sweat and tears We've come so far this time With work and awkward rhymes We've work to live our dream Yet paranoia schemes We've got to where we are Yet must still seize the stars We've become a people Yet must ever grumble We've wrought some talent here Yet must rise above peers We've done all this and that Yet must still hedge our bets We've got the cheese and fries Yet must grapple new tries We've turned the corner now Yet must seek new endow Here's to even more thrills Find fond flavours flood fill We've got to go that way To frame a better day Leon Enriquez 18 July 2015 Singapore
