Lovely Poetry #16 - "Jeepney" (Bilingual Poem)

"Jeepney Stories"

The King of the road
Roaming the Philippine Highway
Taking you to your destination
Always present night and day

If you want to ride the Jeepney
Experience it and feel the thrill,
It is better to follow the rules
Here are some your mind should instill:

One "Sinsilyo lang sa buntag"
So please get rid of those bills
Two "Sikit Sikiti lang"
Close your legs when you sit
Three "Ilabay sa basurahan"
Throw your trash properly after you eat
Four you say "Lugar Lang"
When you reach your stop
Fifth "Tarunga ug kapyot"
We don't want you to fall or to drop
Sixth you say "Palihog"
When passing your money
Seventh "Ayaw pamokong"
We don't do that here honey

These are the rules to follow
And prevent any delay
Oh lastly, don't forget
"God knows Judas not pay!"
