The
youth of our times
Some
gone to the wild
Others
tried to make a living
In
whatever ways it could be done
Those
were the times
When
demands weren't so high
Fussy
people but a few
Either
ignored them or played along
During
my younger days
I
worked part time in a gambling den
Free
food and some allowance
Tips
from the workers...
One
worker sitting beside the boss
He
would scoop all the coins under the plank
The
noises and cluttering in the den
Nobody
paid much attention on the cashiers
My
duty in the morning
To
clear and clean up the den
In
between I would find a few dollar coins
Enough
to get a good meal and a show
I
was lucky to just to hang around
In
the gambling den lighting joss sticks and fruits
In
between making Chinese tea...
Lucky
me I hardly gone on my errands
One
day a police party came
The
whole area was busted for illegal gambling
Every
one ran everywhere
The
whole group was caught
A
few months later
The
boss paid the fines
In
the magistrate court
That
ended my part time job
My
form teach came
Rokiah
is her name
I
was missing my class
Finally
I went back to school
