You can't eat your POPiah!

The thought police officer is on his rounds
The "Allah" issue has his every second worth in pounds

He checks out the hawker centre
The ah soh and ah sook nod their heads in reverence
You don't want to make an enemy of the TPO
"Gawd morning sir, gawd morning sir!"

Wantan mee is Okay
TPO downs one plate without paying
A nod of approval from him is worth a plate of gold
So what's a free meal for a TPO so bold

Then TPO sees the sign "RM2 for POPiah"
"That's no-go, NO-GO!"
Ah Soh pops her eyes wide
TPO's disapproval means her woe


You can't use this word POPiah
It offends all males who are father to a child
You can't swallow a father whole
How can auntie be so bold?

DESIDERATA: So from that night onwards, Ah Soh has to replace the nomenclature of popIAH
for her humble servings of RM2 to "Flour Koww", for RM2.20.
(The price increase of 10percent takes care of the TPO's consideration to allow
Ah Soh to continue her trade.:(
Thanks to be God, Ah Soh whispers to her ancestors up there, there are such kind thinking police officers around!
I:
S:
A: men...

PS2: Desi stole this from donplaypuks.blogspot.com, and in returning an unsolicited favour/flavour, the Antam above is indeed dedicated to this fellow BUMmer who is generous with words, in spirit, body and soul. Gb:)

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
A robin redbreast in a cage
Puts all heaven in a rage......

MALAYSIA’S JOKE OF THE YEAR

A man came home from work and his children ran to him and called out ‘Ayah! Ayah!’. His neighbor got very upset and said to him, “Can you please tell your children not to call you ‘Ayah’?” The man asked, “Why?” The neighbor retorted, “Because my children call me ’Ayah’ too. They might get confused and mistake you to be their father.”
