siao liao

multitudes of students file into the auditorium
slowly, they shuffle sideways into the rows of seats
finally, everyone is settled down
they wait in great impatience for it to be over
for the english paper review to be over

the students shift restlessly in their seats
totally uninterested in the teacher's droning
then it came to scrutinizing the mistakes of one candidate
everyone perks up
this has gotta be funny

it is a summary passage
apparently some foolish idiot did it
substituted lots of words
but got lousy marks
another guy just lifted
and got much higher
what a loser, everyone thinks

the passage flashes on the auditorium screen
every eye begins to inspect the defective summary
no index number, though

then it struck me
like being struck by the stark realisation that it was my script
it was my script
fazed, i carefully read the summary over again
word for word
my way of the summary had been punctured
gone are the 17s and above
11 was the score

OMP
haha well hope its the only part where i died la
i still tink i can rake in a 2 or 3
sobsob?
