singlish for laughter
singlish for economy
singlish for politics
singlish for identity
singlish for singularity
singlish to belong in a far away land to a community
singlish is English in another language
singlish is mine
at the stall at the pop up bazaar
my yet to be husband pauses with his friends
unsure whether to pick up the item
when the shop aunty says it all in 2 lines
can also can
cannot also can
he and his friends look at her
unsure of how friendly she is
and what on earth she means
her smile tells them it's okay
she repeats it and they laughb
can also can
cannot also can
if you want it, it's fine
if you don't, it's also fine
and my husband he was sold
to the sheer economy of this singlish
can also can
cannot also can
okay can!
