I live in an abode
with cats and monkeys
in the entire surround
sparrows do hop and play
in the morning they abound
the dogs bark and whine
the nights are filled with such sound
on either side of me
live the Chinese with their families
opposite to me
there is an Indian man from the army
a little away from me
a Malay man runs a Nasi kandar shop
I live amidst all of them
my English keeps me on top.
