Distraction
Through the eyes of a child
Darling little ones, granddaughters,
Imps of my own, two little girls.
Suggesting ever so simply
That their newly created
Riddles, Knock knocks and jokes
Are always
Cute, funny and silly
To
Innovative, fun and original.
Over the top and beyond
Notions of their own.

For the Love of Samosas

I'll be going to Mac's with Kelvin and his buddies before we head to his house to study for a test." With that, Adam Lim careened like the Flash out of his humble HDB abode.
