just friends II

just friends II is obviously a follow-up poem, following in the greAt tradition laid by great hollywood blockbustiers making USD-churning out *Rocky, Rocky 2, Rocky 3 and R4? "See liau liau, lol!"
* This does not refer to mGf Sdr Ahirudin Attan wit' whom I collaborate sometimes; wished sometimes vve had Steven Spielberg's dollar spinners like Star Warz instead of media-spinning, eh, RockyBru?

just friends II

AS TIME GOES BY,
friendshp waxes and wanes
like the port dickson tides that wait not
for thee and me, poor mousey desi

but we do have time/dime for tea
tehtarik just top up wit' wit dan kambing
what can be more lifting?
yes, rocky, i enjoy thy company
badder if you throw in some kaya
on top of three layers of skippy
and my bread -- how about honey?

what's more exhilarating?

than banter with the likes/dislikes of
zorro, deanobeano and wow! aweOFhelen2
soon AP adds-on like art DrinksOnDeHouse harun?
buttered by donplaypray...
creamed yet by other sweetspirits
ah, sweet surrender to
heavenly mateship

e'en as temporal as redhead beach tides
sometimes they hold for that tender moment
the saccahrine swet sunset
with music
orchestrated by the roaring waves
bashing more than *rocky
downing whiskey on the rocks?

Just Friends

A generous spread on a round table
Juicy suckling piglet, roast to a golden sheen
Oyster-sauced kailan, teased with Chinese wine
Healthily washed down with vintage Le Gordon Bleu

But what's all these food and drinks worth?
If not for the boisterous crowd
Of back-slapping mates dating back a decade
Growing richer and wiser with passing years
Like good old wine, Chines or French

So cheers to hearty and sincere company
The meal might just as well be mere entree
Or one main course
Or just desserts

It matters not really the dish
What's really cooking, whetting
Is your presence, old chap,
Camaderie
Among just
Friends
