TULISAN XV

The Policeman's Ball


A woman in a hurry to get her daughter to school on time was pulled over for speeding.

The mom smiled at her daughter and said "Don't worry dear! I can get out of this ticket."

The cop approached the car and he asked "Mam do you know why I pulled you over?" With a big smile she replied "Sure you are selling tickets to the policeman's ball."

He then said, "Mam, I am a State Trooper, we don't have balls."

TULISAN XIV

Night Hippo


By an African river known as the Nile,
The sun fell away and it rested a while.

The rhinos were tired from the smoldering heat,
So they laid down to sleep and they wiped off their feet.

The elephants marched to their elephant beds
And gently they rested their elephant heads.

But the hippos were bathing in the shallowest pools,
Thinking the rhinos and elephants fools.

Slowly the hippos sank into the river,
The water so cold that it gave them a shiver.

(Hippos can’t swim, despite what you may think.
Since they also can’t float, they could easily sink.)

They dove underwater to the soft river bed,
Onto darkish green plants with a smidgen of red.

They strolled on the bottom, then bounced up for air,
And they did it for hours, without any care.

The fish followed closely, weaving in, weaving out,
Swimming under their bellies, and up to their snouts.

And then, one by one, hippos headed for shore
To feed on the grass by the river once more.

They dried off their bodies by shaking and stomping
And took bites of grass, chewing and chomping.

With the night fading fast, they were full from the feast,
As the sun returned back, rising up from the east.

The hippos crept off to collapse for the day
While the rhinos and elephants got up to play.

Enjoying the warmth of the sun and its light,
Never knowing the story of hippos at night.

TULISAN XIII

Blue Pinguiin


I woke in the night to a noise from the kitchen.
I went down the stairs on a fact-finding mission.

Whatever was there, I did not have a clue.
It was eating a meal (I knew from its chew).

The fridge door was open with food on the ground,
And a tiny blue penguin was looking around.

He looked through the food, and he tossed it aside.
He opened a can and dumped out the inside.

Something about this, just didn’t seem right,
But it wasn’t the oddest thing I saw that night.

Excuse me!” I said, but he seemed not to care.
I shut the fridge door, and he shot me a glare.

“Jelly” he said as he held up some bread
With smooth peanut butter, he must have just spread.

“Jelly?” I answered, “I think we ran out.”
The little blue penguin put on a blue pout.

“Jelly…” he said as he waddled away.
Without any jelly, why would he stay?

I followed him out through the squeaky backdoor.
An igloo was there, that was not there before.

He slid on his belly, inside out of sight,
But it wasn’t the oddest thing I saw that night.

I heard a loud ruckus and ran back to see
A giant giraffe flipping though my tv.

He munched on some chips and kept changing the channel.
The bathrobe he sported was made of red flannel.

“Excuse me!” I yelled, but he turned up the sound,
While most of the chips ended up on the ground.

He tossed up a few, and he took a big bite,
But it wasn’t the oddest thing I saw that night.

I heard water splashing the bathroom upstairs
And found a large octopus bathing in there.

She had my green shower cap on, just my luck.
I was sure she was using my new rubber duck.

said “Finish up!”, and she told me “All right,”
But it wasn’t the oddest thing I saw that night.

Back from my bedroom came a crash and a thud.
Two lemurs were throwing around balls of mud.

My room was a mess, and they both were to blame.
I swear, it was clean till those two lemurs came.

There was mud on the dresser, the desk, and the light,
But it wasn’t the oddest thing I saw that night.

Outside I looked up, and I know it’s bizarre,
But guess what flew by me? A bright shooting star!

I wished for the penguin to get all his jelly.
I wished the giraffe would stop using my telly.

I wished that the octopus there in my tub
Would exit the bathroom and give it a scrub.

I wished that my room would still somehow be clean.
I wished that the nonsense would all be a dream.

The lemurs both left, the giraffe had enough.
The octopus gave me back all of my stuff.

The blue penguin waddled right up to my feet.
He carried a sandwich, most ready to eat.

Then he flew off when he flapped both his wings,
And that, of it all, was the oddest of things…

TULISAN XII

A Young Queen


A young Queen was given a special present from a great wizard. It was a magic chest which would bring happiness to the whole kingdom whenever it was opened in a place where there was a spirit of generosity.

The Queen travelled all over her kingdom, looking for the most generous people. When she had collected them all, she opened the magic chest. However, nothing whatsoever happened.

That was, until one day when, returning to her castle, the Queen saw a poor little boy begging. The Queen would have given the boy some money, but she didn't have any with her. So the boy asked her if she could give him the old chest she had, so he could sell it for a little money, in town. At first the Queen hesitated, because she had been told the chest was magic. But on seeing how poor the boy was, she gave it to him. The boy took the chest and opened it.

Immediately, all the most wonderful things one could imagine started flying out of the chest, accompanied by the sound of singing: "Why look for it in others? Goodness always starts in yourself", went the song.

And as well as enjoying all the wonders of the magic chest, the Queen learned to set an example in virtue, and she became the best Queen ever to reign over that kingdom.

TULISAN XI

The Princess


There was once and incredibly rich, beautiful, and wise Princess. Tired of false suitors who were only interested in her money, she announced that she would only marry whoever managed to present her with the most valuable, tender, and sincere gift of all.

The palace filled up with flowers and gifts of every kind, letters describing undying love, and love-struck poems. Among all these wonderful gifts, she found a pebble, a simple dirty pebble. Intrigued, she demanded to see whoever it was who had offered this gift. Despite her curiosity, she pretended to be highly offended by the gift when the young man was brought before her. He explained it to her like this,
"Dear Princess, this pebble represents the most valuable thing one can give - it is my heart. It is also sincere, because it is not yet yours, and it is as hard as a stone. Only when it fills with love will it soften and be more tender than any other."

The young man quietly left, leaving the Princess surprised and captivated. She fell so in love that she took the little pebble with her wherever she went, and for months she regaled the young man with gifts and attention. But his heart remained as hard as the stone in her hands. Losing hope, she ended up throwing the pebble into a fire. In the heat of the fire, the sand crumbled from around it, and from out of that rough stone a beautiful golden figure emerged. With this, the Princess understood that she herself would have to be like the fire, and go about separating what is useless from what is truly important.

During the following months she set about changing the kingdom, and devoted her life, her wisdom, and her riches to separating what is truly valuable from what is unimportant. She gave up the luxury, the jewels, the excess; and it meant that everyone in the kingdom now had food to eat and books to read. So many people came away from their interaction with the Princess enchanted by her character and her charisma. Her mere presence transmitted such human warmth that they started to call her 'The Princess of Fire'.

And as with the pebble, the fire of her presence melted the hardness of the young man's heart. And just as he had promised, he became so tender and considerate that he made the Princess happy till the end of her days

TULISAN X

Fox and The Eagle

The pact was made between the cunning fox and eagle. It was decided that the eagle will fly and track preys sleeping in their house while the fox will come and kill them. The meats will be shared equally between the two. It became easier for both now to have wholesome diet everyday until fox thought, he need to have more share as it is him who is actually making more efforts in killing the preys.

Next time when the eagle tracked a prey, fox refused to kill and asked eagle to first promise that he will be happy with whatever share fox gives him. Eagle unwillingly accepted. Henceforth, whenever a prey was trapped fox used to have the entire meat and leave little for the eagle.

The unsatisfied eagle now planned to teach a lesson to the fox. One day he saw a trap, made by poachers to catch elephant. The 20 feet deep trench was covered with grasses. The eagle as usual came to fox and said there lays 3 fat rabbits sleeping under the grass. The fox with water in his mouth rushed towards the said place and fall into the trench.

TULISAN IX

 You can't Please Everyone

One day a man was going to market with his son and his ass. they met a couple on the way.

"Why walk when you have an ass to ride?" called out the husband, "seat the boy on the ass."

"I would like that," said the boy, "help me up father."

And the father did that willingly.

Soon they met another couple. "How shameful of you!" cried the woman, "let your father ride, won't he be tired?"

So, the boy got down and the father rode the ass. Again they marched on.

"poor boy", said the next person they met, "why should the lazy father ride while his son is walking?"

So, the boy got onto the ass too. As they went on, they met some travellers.
"How cruel of them!" They are up to kill the poor ass." cried one of the travellers.

Hearing this, the father and the son got down. Now they decided to carry the ass on their shoulders. As they did so, the travellers broke into laughter.

The laughter frightened the ass. It broke free and galloped away

TULISAN VIII

The Sick Lion

A Lion, unable from old age and infirmities to provide himself with food by force, resolved to do so by artifice. He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be publicly known. The beasts expressed their sorrow, and came one by one to his den, where the Lion devoured them. After many of the beasts had thus disappeared, the Fox discovered the trick and presenting himself to the Lion, stood on the outside of the cave, at a respectful distance, and asked him how he was. "I am very middling," replied the Lion, "but why do you stand without? Pray enter within to talk with me." "No, thank you," said the Fox. "I notice that there are many prints of feet entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning."

TULISAN VII

The Koala & The Kangaroo

On the first sunny day of summer Lulu the grey and cute koala and Bella the jumpy and brown kangaroo had a nice sip at the cool, blue river.

"Hey Lulu. Do you want to go on a race?", asked Bella. "Okay", said Lulu with a certain feeling she would lose.

So they ran the race and of course fast Bella won and Lulu was right for once.

About an hour later Bella shouted at the top of her voice, "Let’s see who can touch the top of that tree first".

"Okay, but only if you don’t cheat", said Lulu. "I promise", said Bella.

Because Lulu was so determined, she climbed to the top faster than Bella could run. Lulu was so happy that she closed her eyes while she jumped down the tree saying "Yippy!"

TULISAN VI

The Cat and the Fox

once a Cat and a Fox were traveling together. As they went along, picking up provisions on the way -- a stray mouse here, a fat chicken there -- they began an argument to while away the time between bites. And, as usually happens when comrades argue, the talk began to get personal.

"You think you are extremely clever, don't you?" said the Fox. "Do you pretend to know more than I? Why, I know a whole sackful of tricks!"

"Well," retorted the Cat, "I admit I know one trick only, but that one, let me tell you, is worth a thousand of yours!"

Just then, close by, they heard a hunter's horn and the yelping of a pack of hounds. In an instant the Cat was up a tree, hiding among the leaves.

"This is my trick," he called to the Fox. "Now let me see what yours are worth."

But the Fox had so many plans for escape he could not decide which one to try first. He dodged here and there with the hounds at his heels. He doubled on his tracks, he ran at top speed, he entered a dozen burrows, but all in vain. The hounds caught him, and soon put an end to the boaster and all his tricks.

TULISAN V

The Ants and the Grasshopper

The ants were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime.
A grasshopper, quite hungry, passed by and begged for a little food.
The ants asked him, "Why didn't you gather up food during the summer?" He replied, "I as too busy having fun to work. I passed the days singing."
They then said in mockery: "If you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance without supper to bed in the winter."

TULISAN VI


"GIVE ME A REASON"


Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them

Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love


Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
(Yeah but this is happenin')

You've been havin' real bad dreams oh oh
You still lie so close to me oh oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh our love, our love


Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

TULISAN III



"CRIMINAL"

He is a hustler, he's no good at all
He is a loser, he's a bum
(Bum, bum, bum)

He lies, he fluffs he's unreliable
He is a sucker with a gun
(Gun, gun, gun)

I know you told me I should stay away
I know you said he's just a dog astray
He is a bad boy with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain't smart

But mama, I'm in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical
Mama, please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside, I just can't deny, love the guy

He is a villain of the devil's law
He is a killer just for fun
(Fun, fun, fun)

That mans a snitch and unpredictable
He's got no conscience, he got none
(None, none, none)

All I know, should let go but no
'Cause he's a bad boy with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain't smart

But mama, I'm in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical
Mama, please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside, I just can't deny, love the guy

And he's got my name tattooed on his arm
His lucky charm, so I guess its okay
He's with me

And I hear people talk
(People talk)
Trying to make remarks, keep us apart
But I don't even hear I don't care

But mama, I'm in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical
Mama, please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside, I just can't deny, love the guy

But mama, I'm in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical
Mama, please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside, I just can't deny, love the guy

But mama, I'm in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical
Mama, please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside, I just can't deny, love the guy

TULISAN II


"Ever Enough"

 No I’m never gonna leave you darling
 No I’m never gonna go regardless
 Everything inside of me is living in your heartbeat
 Even when all the lights are fading
 Even then if your hope was shaking
 I’m here holding on


 I will always be yours forever and more
 Through the push and the pull
 I still drown in your love
 And drink 'til I’m drunk
 And all that I’ve done,
 Is it ever enough

 I’m hanging on a line here baby
 I need more than if's and maybe's
 We’ll come down from the highest heights
 Still searching for the reason why
 And now I know what it’s like,
 Reaching from the other side
 After all that I’ve done


 I will always be yours forever and more
 Through the push and the pull
 I still drown in your love
 And drink 'til I’m drunk
 And all that I’ve done,
 Is it ever enough?

 For all that it’s worth, is it worth it?
 Cause more than it’s hard to desert it
 For all that it’s worth, is it worth it?
 How do we know without searching?

 I will write you this song to get back what’s ours
 Would that be enough?


 I will always be yours forever and more
 Through the push and the pull
 I still drown in your love
 And drink 'til I’m drunk
 And all that I’ve done,
 Is it ever enough?

 For all that it’s worth, is it worth it?
 Is it ever enough?
 How could we know without searching?
 Is it ever enough?

TULISAN



THE OUTCAST


 Who's to say
 Who's not okay?
 The breakaways
 Will outlast, will outlast

 Sticks and stones
 Won't break these bones
 They're just some drones
 To get past, I'll get past


 Feeling downcast,
 Like an outcast
 Underdogs, it's time to bite back

 We are, we are, we are 
 Stronger from every scar
 Brighter than any star 


 We're the outcast, o-o-outcast

 There's nothing you can say 
 To blow our dreams away
 We rise above the fray

 We're the outcast, o-o-outcast

 In this skin, I'm better than
 I've ever been, so take that, yeah, take that

 The test of time will show who shines
 It will be mine
 Yeah, the last laugh, the last laugh


 Feeling downcast
 Like an outcast 
 Underdogs, it's (Yeah!) time to

 It's time to, time to bite back


 We are, we are, we are
 Stronger from every scar
 Brighter than any star 

 We're the outcast, o-o-outcast

 There's nothing you can say 
 To blow our dreams away
 We rise above the fray

 We're the outcast, o-o-outcast


 I'd rather be outrageous than
 Just another door pushing again
 I'd rather be a rainbow than
 Just some
 Shade of gray!

 We are, we are, we are
 Stronger from every scar
 Brighter than any star
 The outcast
