Eh bakit hindi ipagtapat , walang biro’t bulaan, walang labis walang kulang
Sa mapagtiwalang kulasisi, malabo ma’t ibig, daig ang malinaw
Tahasang isiwalat ang nasa loob sukdang hubo’t hubarin ang amor propio
Sa yapak ni Selya’y nabaon ang sumpang binitiwan ni Kikong sumala sa letra
Katoto, di ‘ko sinungaling, totoong ayaw lang sa nakabalatkayong ganda
Sa tipanan nabunyag ang lihim ng kinalkulang pakiramdaman
Magkukunwari pa bang may tiyak na kahulugang hulog ng langit?
Wika’y madulas, dumadaplis, humigit-kumulang ipahiwatig na lamang
Ano ba talaga ang ibig mong ipahatid, ilahad, isaad, ilaglag, ibilad?
Kung di mabigkas o maibulalas, itikom ang labi, humalik sa salawahang katipan.
