Short Yong Poems

Rock is still allowed,
Yong and old so proud,
Teen queens and studs,
Shocking olden fuds,
To old rockers, we wave,
From our youth, a fave,
Every age of yore,
Will blame those before,
No limits on rock today,
You still rocking, USA?...

      cook me up a Jewish dish
    Kneidels and kreplach, knishes too

    Grind the horseradish to bits

Kung sakaling nalulumbay
Subukan mo na mahimlay,
Mahimbing at  managinip
Nang  mamatay abang isip.

Kung minsan namang masaya
At nais ‘wag nang matawa.
Ipikit ‘yong mga mata
Sa panaginip maluha.

At kung may pag-aalala,
Subukan mo ring mahiga
At maidlip sa ‘yong kama
Nang pangamba’y ‘ibsang kusa.

Iwan ‘tong mundong uma’pi,
Lim’tin tanang pagsisisi,
Poot ay sabay’ng iwaksi,
Ang managinip ay libre....

'THERE'S A SHARK IN MY SOUP!'
Not an eyebrow was raised, 
Not a shudder nor blood-curdling scream.
For in Peking you see, it's a delicacy
To consume shark fin soup it would seem.

But when diners looked round,
With his head in a bowl
 Was renowned Casanova - Wang Yong.
And his date said : 'You cheat,! You're a shark on the beat!
So it's in that there bowl you belong!

It all began in a laboratory in Wuhan;
Shan Chi sneezed next to Li Huan,
And they both gave it to Sue Han,
Who spread it all over Fenghuang.

Shie Ming went to Taiwan,
And she wasn't the only one,
Who talked to Sue Han
Who got it from a cousin from Wuhan.

And now Lien Mien Yong
Also went to Hong Kong,
It spread all along,
And it found Zhou Xong

He gave it to Kay Lee
Who stood next to me
In the mall in Juechii
Where I was eating Sushi....
