Popularity Contest’s Highest Bidder

As candidate of popularity contest
In generating school fund was like a test
I’ve witnessed my parent’s full support
Selling big grilled chicken was their last resort.

We got lots of visitors who came to bid
My dad pleaded, “Please do this for my kid!”
From ten thousand pesos, old men bid higher
Closed at fifty thousand, I was the winner!

At School Foundation Day, they crowned me queen
Teachers bought brooms, dust pans and garbage bins
We thanked the rich man for buying our chicken,
In returned, he asked us to court my dad’s sister, Len.
