The young are exposed to all sounds
They can tolerate all the noise
Their parents shrieking quarrel coupled with TV’s sound
Are all music to their ears

Why not make the kind of music
The young are crazy about it
Let the singer take over and shout all her might
With the band by her side

Or recite poetry,
Make music as background,
And rip rap it all night!

For sideline job, he became a Painter –
He did undercoating jobs for Car Makers;
Painted street signs for Street Workers;
Made colored uniforms for Prisoners!

But Rusty still wants something Greater –
He wants to be a Poet and a Writer;
So he became first an Internet Surfer
And then progressed to be a Blogger!

Rusty Rust’s life is a Good Example
To be emulated by all DotComers
Who were born to be Destroyers
But want to be Productive Builders!

Adu ‘t inaramidna a Kadaksan:
Nangputed pay ku – Kua ‘t Kalaban
Sinukaan sana Inpakaan –
Inpasubo, Inpangalngal!

Na – Stroke ket Antes a Matay
Dimmawat Rosaryo, Nagpakawan;
Binindisyonan met ti Simbaan
Tapno diay Langit ti Pagtungpalan!

Panteonna Tinubtob Agtatakaw,
Bangkayna Naipalnaaw;
Ngem Maysa laeng ti Naawan:
Diay Rosaryo nga inna Penetpet-petan!

With all the suffering that I have seen,
I have to admit that he was right!
What do we get but the experience
That later becomes just a memory!

But, … With all the hardship and pain I’ve felt,
Relief by death I’ll never think!
I’m like the other suffering guy
Who just won’t say: “My Life Good Bye!”

Agung-ungek diay burias diay baba
Mabisin ngata ta awan susona
Awan met ngarud daydiay inana
Ta nakagarot wenno tinakawda

Pinilit na ketdi ti timmakder
Nanalbuog bote’t arak diay datar
Nagaruyot ket natedtedan idiay sirok
Diay burias nga napedped ti bisinna

“Sal-at a biag!” indayamudomna
Aglaaw koma ngem adda nalagipna
Agkira-os pay ketdin ti tianna
Awanen, nakitaray metten ni baketna!

I know one bright guy, he got the job
Over the duller no one won’t hire;
The lesser guy went to work abroad;
He came back later so much richer!

It takes all timing like when you buy
A stock that is cheap when you have cash;
Then sell when the price is through the roof–
When the stock collapses, you do not lose!

Ito ang napapansin ko:
Halaman man, hayop o tao–
Double time kung magtrabaho
Kung ito ay nade-dehado!

Ang Haring nasa itaas,
Di titingala– ulo’y ibababa
Para lang Masierto niya
Mga Alipi’y Nagpapakumbaba!

Kung ikaw ay nasa ibaba
Mapipilitan kang titingala!
Sa sikap at pagpupunyagi
Makakamit mo ang Pinakamimithi!

No apay nga naasawana ni Angela;
Awanen ti naem-Emma ngem isuna!
Saan a Kuto-Kuto ti sal-Sala,
Nakalanlanay pay Bosesna!

Inremedio ti Gasat a Mabuong
Diay Banga a napno ti Monamon!
Nagaw-is, idi agsal-Sala ni Ebong,
Ket naikaglis ni Angela a Nagsusuon!

Nadigos dagidiay dua ti Bugguong
Parehoda pay a Naidaramudom!
Imbes nga nagunget ti Maysa ken Maysa–
Nagpiniltakdan a Nagkatkatawa!

Staying in the hospital’s No Fun
When there’s No Filipino Nurse around!
When you see her Smile at you
You feel as if you ‘re Wanted too!

Thank heavens, she’s All Over the World–
You may Retire anyplace around the Globe
And rest assured you’d be Cared of
With loving Care as you Grow Old!

Around the World the Filipino Nurse is Tops!
She Loves her Craft so much, She Works Hard
To let her Patients think they ‘re Important–
That’s why she’s wanted Anywhere around!

Nanilbihan na katulong
Sa pamilyang ubod ng sungit!
Munting kamali, hinahampas s’ya
Ng kung anu-anong mahawakan …

Dinispatsa s’ya ng amo
Dahil nagkasakit sa kanyang baga;
Hindi s’ya tinanggap ng asawa;
Pati anak, nandiri sa kanya!

Nguni’t, kahit noong patay na, nagsilbi pa rin:
Kanyang bangkay ay ipinagbili pa!
Pag-aaralan ito ng mga estud’yanteng
Kabilang dito–kanyang anak!
