The
Malay restaurant I go
Near
to the surau on a quiet day
The
operator hardly advertises it
He
is happy on the slow paces
There
is a white and grey cat
He
always hangs in his restaurant
The
operator gives him cat food
He
knows where to look
Today
I speak to the cat
I
say you have been fed
Yet
you still want to eat
He
turns his body and look
Then
he kisses my foot
Just
to say he isn't a bad cat
Laying
on the floor showing off
The
operator says he is choosy now
When
the cat was sick
He
got to eat steamed fish
Until
he recovered from his illness
The
operator says he refuses to eat other food
The
cat still dreams of his steamed fish
He
still wants to be fed with it
The
operator isn't going to give in
The
cat has to learn and adapt
Just
like a leader
A
promise has to be kept
But
he keeps moving his lamp post
He
doesn't want to let go
