Missionary and Mercenary Politicians in Verse

YL Chong the political writer in me has lately been on semi-VKtion pondering long (partially living up to my name) and hard (which is not part of my character and hence I don't fare well in the political arena) on Malaysian political landscape and its political inhabitants. I caught up wit' mGf Saudara Din Merican yesterday for Dim Sum lunch at Nikko Hotel and VVe exchanged some P&C notes about PKR poliiotics which I won't detail here. You buy Desi and Sdr Din another dim some and we'll try to make the environment switch from dim to bright.

Some hints given in verse, so please tax thy God's gifted
unique mind of yours and make thyself useful or usefool.

Malaysian voters are masochistic

In the main.
They don't like the BN menu
So they gripe, groan and keep the ilks of Mike Chong seemingly busy
and rendering great public service
Such are actually welfare officers
Self-proclaimed do-gooders against a-long and now-move-thee-along
Enjoying name and fame helping out Malaysians

from self-inflicted pain, medically conditoned as masochists

After the cosntant coffe-shop or tehtarik mamak stalling and complaining
they enter the Polling Booth
mark against the Dacing
and give the Opposition the Boot
I'm no trained psychologist
but reading books by the pome and tome

I grade such Voters as masochists

They then lambast both the government of the day
and the Opposition on the die
That all wakil rakyat have let them down
They -- how cows -- are the only ones wit'
the wits about them
Their Vote for Dacing is for the Devil they know
Than try out one term wit' PKR-DAP-PAS who are devils in the deep blue sea

Now you know why I call Thee masochist, do you see?

One eye-closed, both eyes shut
What's the diff?
Led by numero uno
E'en asleep on the standing at offficial function

I call Thee "masochist" -- I got thy attention:(

desi: TO BE CONTINUED IF I AM ALSO INCLINED TOWARDS A BYTE OF MASOCHISM. So come back -- like oliver or Olivia Twist or twisted -- for more or aMore, a slight difference between masochism and love, for pain or gain, or bordering on suffering from Doomsday Syndrome.

Desi,

Can't have masochistic voters without sadistic leaders... one must give and one must take... one a bolt and one a nut... beware another kind.. sadomasochistic!

They blow hot, they blow cold
They give a blow, yet take a blow
Often they blow their top
When they wish to blow off steam
They'll blow the whistle or gaff
Even blow some to kingdom come

To blow away their cobwebs
They'll blow their own trumpet
Give account blow by blow
In fact they're blowing smoke
And hoping to blow your mind
But you can blow a hole in that

oops.. what rubbish am I writing..

Have a happy, healthy and hopeful new year.

hi neighBOURLY joe:

I see you but no hear thee for LONG dime

Don't linger around sadomasochistic land
Soo it's another GE
HOPE they'll follow Desi
VVote Opposition
