Maynilad (Mixed Rhyme)

So true, the drivers are more careful Than the commuters who are not fool Jeepneys and buses are always full Than taxis, in some ways, dared to rule Heart of Maynilad, the beautiful City of dreamers living in her gay dream Where aroma street-vendors have to scream In enticing you to light another dream While you craving for a coco ice-cream For I really missed Maynilad Of her sensual beauty That I’m longing to see Which I saw when I was a lad Now I live in the shadows of the Gentiles At first, I never wanted to be here Olive trees’ leaves rustled me with godly styles That I learned to like famous Mythos beer But, I preferred the sweet echo Of San Miguel, a grand macho Suave, even if sun not down Blended with all kinds of fun rhyme From peers who neither have a dime Yet, they will not let you down Thou I, the dreamer, admire the foreign god Still, I will save the last breath for Maynilad Why? It’s simply because she is in my blood Yes, that’s what I am, by birth Just simple man, here on earth Coming from her maiden skirt I promised to share my shirt If, one day I bid you bye O, Athena, do not cry You are deeply etched in my mind Heart and soul, thou, for Maynilad
