Ang Alamat ng Edi Wow
Bakit at paano nga ba
Na ang tawag sa
Kanilang papuring kantiyaw
Ay “Edi Wow”?
Gumawa nang maayos
Gawain ay natapos
Pero di masaya
Parang kulang pa
Natalo ang kaaway
Natamo ay tagumpay
Pero kulang pa
Parang di masaya
Kung inggit o suya
Huwag nang magsalita
Huwag kang plastik!
Better huwag umimik!
Kung di mapigilan ang kaplastikan
Lumayo ka nalang sa kinaiinisan
Kung di mo tanggap ung panalo niya
Idaan sa tama ang iyong protesta
Mangusap nang direkta
Kung tapat at tunay ka
Huwag idaan sa ganyan
Ang BOSSes mong talunan
“Kayo ang BOSSes ko” – cnong nauto?
Binaliktad mo pa ang mundo!
Maraming BOSSes laban sa'tin
Liberal Voices #SanaAll MAuBUS din!

Ang Alamat ng Buwis-Buhay
Bakit at paano nga ba
Na ang tawag sa
Kanilang parang nais mamatay
Gawain man o hindi ay “Buwis-Buhay”?
Kapag gawain mo ay delikado
Pauyam nila itong ikokomento
Parang sinasabing walang kwenta
Kahit mamatay ka pa
Gaya ng aking 2014 Social Experiment
Na educational ang intent
Pero andaming nagcomment
Na ipakatay pa rao ako to that extent
Buwis-Buhay nga! (nganga)
Bukambibig ng VICE na maGANDA
Sa mga kalahok na peligroso
Ang mga talent sa show
Kahanga-haNGA NGA pero kalurkey
Parang ung efforts ni Empress Ki
Pa-epal daw kasi kaya impressive
Kapalmuks daw kaya expressive
Matindi ang kapit parang tuko
Kahit 2013 pa ang “Let it go!”…
Ni Elsa sa malamig na kastilyo
Parang 1994 Elsa Castillo
Portrayed by Kris Aquino!
Wag RAo manlaban sa power ng YElLOw
BoomPanis lang… Walang laban
Kahit sumabog pa ang Bulkan…

*Alamat ng Kanilang mga Expressions
With the might of nine men
And with his head full of red hair
His brusque fashion and his acumen
He carved his place at the King's fair
There was only one other
To whom he looked with honor
Always by his side, facing danger
Their rhythm together was a marvel
The fate's fickle motions
Caused an abrupt end to their notions
Power of friendship wasn't able
To prevent the tragedy's closure
Braying like an injured animal
He searched his injury's satisfaction
Facing his brothers' annihilator
He continued relentlessly even in failure
Ang pag-ibig na wagas
ay walang pagdududa;
alinlanga’y di bakas
sa gabi ma’t umaga.
Sa gitna ng delubyo
ay totoong matibay;
tapat hanggang sa dulo,
hindi humihiwalay.
Sa lahat ng sandali
ay malinis ang hangad;
hindi mapagkunwari,
at lalong hindi huwad.
Sa lahat ng gawain
ay may basbas ng Diyos;
kahit may suliranin,
pagmamahal ay taos.
Mas higit kaysa ginto
sapagkat walang wakas;
kayamanan ng puso
ang pag-ibig na wagas.
Sir Lancelot was the greatest
Sir Gawain was the soundest
Sir Galahad was the purest
Sir Cumference was the roundest
Ah, look!
here is a fat white samurai,
goes by the name of Jeffy.
I see him,
drunk and slurring insults in the direction of his brothers
what a shame.
He might have been someone
yet here he is.
If only Gawain or Kissinger or Super Mario could have been there instead of him,
maybe they could have averted the situation from its violent course...
But none of them were.
And I, Jeffy,
drunk and ever foolish
fought a dirty fight in a dying bar against overpowering odds.
And sadly, I won.
