reckless spending spree
warfare not welfare shopping
hard earned wealth wasted
mad elephants on rampage
lavish drunken destruction

POEM TRANSLATION FREE VERSES (自由詩)
STAINLESS KETTLES AND BLACK POTS
（不銹鋼的水壶和黑鍋）
Read reminders about wastage;
閱讀提示关于浪費物;
People’s rights are not garbage.
人民的权利不是廢物。
Corruption is value and cost added;
贪腐是价值和成本增加;
Fat cows stole feed and over bloated.
胖牛偷吃飼料更膨胀。
Citizens can now happily relax;
公民现時能愉快地放松；
No more cracks in coffers, GST axe.
没更多的裂缝庫房，銷售税。
Watch comedy in hot weathered room;
观看喜剧在热风化的室內;
Laugh and choke by promise of bloom.
歡笑和窒息所承的諾言绽放。
It’s cool that inflation will be over;
很涼爽那通货膨胀将結束;
I can now retire to be world actor.
现在我能退休為世界藝演家。
Praise to kettles made of stainless steel;
讚賞水壶由不銹鋼的制成;
Never ever burn black and char our meal;
永不烧黑成炭我們的膳食;
Kettle can no longer sneer and call pot black;
水壶不可再嘲笑稱為黑鍋;
Back to back, billion traders are digital quack.
背对背，亿的交易商是数字吹牛。

MALAYSIAN TANKA ECHOES 28: ARROGANCE
small annoying brat
puff up condom stands erect
survival threatened
hurt pride, fear and insecure
oversized shoes hurt the feet
