Inyang ing Pamuntuk ning bansa, i Erap
Dakal a myaliwang biru ing milangkap
King lagyu na’t e mu keti Pilipinas
Ing inggil karing ‘jokes’ a nu’ ngan miras.
Metung ne kareti itang misan ngara
Mibangun yang ugtu, medyu malata ya;
Inya bista’t e man regular ‘check-up’ na
Karin king ‘Heart Center’ agad da neng dela.
Malagua’t salita… ‘within 30 minutes,
King mesabing ‘center’ ikwa rang midantik,
At keta ring doctor, attendants at nurses
Mirarapal, agad-agad da neng penik.
Kalub na king peka- ’examination hall,’
A talaga namang ‘fully air-conditioned,’
Pepaluklukan de, at ngana ning doctor:
“Sir, basan yo’ pa ding mapilan ‘questions’
Bayu ra kayu pu eksaminan ustu,
Bilang SOP keng kekeng pamanulu,
Ing nurse, kuanan ne ining papa-‘fill up’ ku
Kalabas na pu ning mapilan minutu.
Binasa nang Erap itang makasulat
At iti, kuntodo pemintwan nang agad;
Ding sapatus ilang minuna nang likas
At king awang na’la pisakit belabag.
Leko ne’ing sandu na, medyas at pantalun
Saka no’ inatsa reti king ‘comfort room,’
Inya kabalik ning nurse king mesabing ‘hall’
‘Brief’ nya’ing susulud na’t ala ne ping salol.
“Bakit sir?” nganing nurse a e mipayndatun;
Lepitan ne ‘and asks him what is going on?’
“I’m only following the given instructions,
As it says here, answer in brief all the questions!”
