the god rat

borrowed from The Star

The year the Rat
Ushering his reign
The smart aleck

The god Rat
He comes out to survey
The beginning
The election of his comrades

The taxes and cost of goods
The pockets full of holes
The god Rat delivers subtly
Winking his eyes
The cheese so disappear suddenly

The small talk
The empty promises
By leaders and government
Punching holes the god Rat says hello!

The recession comes
Eating slowly but surely
The people will grumble
Crying too the poor

So make a choice
Don’t get fooled again
US can Taiwan do
Australia too

Happy New Year
O god Rat
Let your reign be changes
In the country

For those who are celebrating
Kong Xi Fa Cai; Keong Hee What Chye
Happy happy all the year through!
