Two tadpoles living in adjacent ponds
Wakil rakyats
Of the northern courtyards
Thrusting their thirsty tongues here and there
Amphibians as they were to find
Not enough water and insects in the ponds to dine
For they aim to grow fat
Reaching for more wriggling worms beyond the tiny lily pad
Off they leaped
Grabbing their new paymaster's fishing rod
Shaking off their tails to reveal they are nothing but ugly toads.
