Nabalitaan ko na pumanaw ang ina ni BEN…

Si BEN na katambal ni PIPOY na MAINTENANCE TEAM NATEN;

At nanghingi nga ng abuloy si BEN sa AKEN  – –

Binigyan ko ng kunti at wika ko’y: “MAY DAGDAG PA YAN, PUNTA KA MAYANG GABI, MGA PAST SEVEN”;

Dahil maraming tulong na saki’y naibahagi, pati na nga pag-aayos ng Christmas lights sa aming BELEN!

Matanda na raw ang yumao nyang INA…

Nalaman ko ring dalawa pala ang kanyang ASAWA;

Hindi naman pala pinagsabay yaong mga ESPOSA – –

Yumao daw ang una, at naisip nyang magka-PANGALAWA;

Pero hindi na nga daw siya magdadagdag ng pangatlo PA!

OYSENTA’Y SAIS anyos na daw ang kanyang NANAY…

At “OLD AGE” daw ang naging dahilan ng PAGKAMATAY;

Dating nagsilbing YAYA ng kanyang mga ANAK – –

’Tong si BEN ay TUNAY na MASIPAG, at mukhang BANAT-na-BANAT;

Maagang magsimula sa TRABAHO, at hindi nga yata nag-II-SNACK!

Huwag naman pong isiping inaalipusta ko ang kanyang PAGLULUKSA…

Nais ko lang pong makatulong, kung pwede’y magbigay ng abuloy ang LAKSA;

Lima po pala ang naging supling nitong si BEN – –

Meron yatang anak na nag-aaral na GRADE SEVEN;

Via this FUN RHYME, na aking kinakatha habang bumibili ng MAMBA DRINK sa SEVEN-ELEVEN!

Luluwas pala bukas ‘tong si BEN  patungong PANGASINAN…

Malamang dito rin si BEN ay NAISILANG;

Ang BUROL din ng kanyang INA ay GAGANAPIN DOON  — –

Mag-alay nawa na rin tayo ng panalangin sa MAHAL NA POON;

Abutan natin pati si BEN ng ABULOY, at malamang ay wala siyang MALAKING NA-IPON!

Kinatha ko itong FUN RHYME upang matulungan si BEN…

Dahil siya’y MABAIT, MAPAGKAKATIWALAAN, at halos kawangki ng KASIPAGAN ala “EVEN STEVEN”;

Palagian kong nakikita si BEN na inaayos at INIIMIS ang PARK pati na ang CONCRETE PEN – –

Upang masayang makapag-laro ang mga paslit sa K-VILLE ng PEN,PEN, DE SARAPEN;

Habang ang mga FATHERS and MOTHERS ay NAG-DI-“DRINKING”, “COOKING” or perhaps “PRAYING”…AMEN!

AT DAHIL NAPANGITI KO KAYO, MALAMANG AY NAPA-BULANGHIT PA NG HALAKHAK…

PWEDE NANG MARAHIL MAKAPAG-BIGAY NG ABULOY O KAHIT KUNTING PANG-SNACK;

DAHIL ANG BIYAHENG PATUNGONG PANGASINAN, AY MAHABA-HABA DING TUNAY – –

GU-GUTOMIN MARAHIL, AT KAILAN NG COKE AT MASARAP NA TINAPAY;

PARA MAKARATING SA BUROL NG KANYANG INANG PUMANAW NA MATAGAL DING NAKARATAY!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY my dear friend MARY JANE….                           

Your smile is still cute and is as sweet as SUGARCANE;

And when you are drawn to laughter, you really sparkle and bubble like CHAMPAGNE – –

Though, it gives some soothing feeling, yet it could also give some stomach PAIN!

I first met MARY JANE, on my first day of OFFICE…

Went to see MTG, and I thought my call was FLAWLESS;                            

But it would seem that MARIANO has not advised HIM – –

So, I had to go back home, and went to see a movie FILM!

Upon my second call, MARY JANE was courteous in her PROTOCOL…

Even offered COFFEE, but as I turned out fidgety, the coffee went down COOL;

I was afraid that another mishap may or could just HAPPEN – –                        

If still a gaffe and a repeat would come, I’ll just might see the CAPTAIN!

As a CANCER born person, you are very IMAGINATIVE and CREATIVE…             

You  believe that there are no limits to LIFE, well that trait could be ADDICTIVE;

For LIFE and LIVING here on earth is truly very SEDUCTIVE – –

Let’s reduce the SEDUCE and make it mere ATTRACTIVE!

You tend to be quite SUCCESSFUL in whatever you would DO….

You hold yourself  to a high standard, and would not want to bid your good virtues ADIEU;                       

You believe sincerely in your ROMANTIC VALUES – –

But you’re clueless, as to how to practice it, thus its better kept than USE!

You are attracted to business for you like to prove YOURSELF…                

And your strong interpersonal relationship and leadership, are traits that make you BEST;           

You’ve an inborn sense of LOYALTY which teems inside your SHELF – –

But USERS and ABUSERS are those indeed that you DETEST!

On this your natal day, my sweet MARY JANE…         

I’ll fervently hope and pray that soon you’ll reach your FAME;                                 

I am not thinking of STARDOM, at least be freed of BOREDOM – –

That you’ll soon be a captain too of industry perhaps with your own business QUEENDOM!

MALIGAYANG MALIGAYANG BATI SA IYO MARY JANE!

Ang ating mga ITAY ay siyang haligi ng ating KAMAGANAKAN…

ILAW naman ang ating mga INANG ng atin pong TAHANAN;

Ngunit ngayong araw na ito, mga ITAY ang siyang tunay na TAMPOK – –

Yan ang nakagawian sa buong mundo, sa lahat po ng mga POOK;

Bigyan natin ng pagpupugay ang ating mga AMA: “whether they’re good, even if your DAD is a CROOK”!

Dahil sa kung hindi kay TATAY, kay DAD, kay PAPA o kay TATANG…

Baka ikaw ngani’y wala dito sa mundo, pati gunita mo’y PALUTANG-LUTANG LANG;

Dahil hindi ka nga PARDS, sa mundo’y IPINANGANAK o ISINILANG- –

Wala kang pagkatao; wala ring KATAUHAN at PAGKAKAKILANLAN;

Ni hindi nga putok sa buho, mukhang nagmintis at ang essensya mo animo’y paikot-ikot sa KALAWAKAN!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY sa lahat ng mga HALIGI…

Mga responsable at mga masisipag na PAPPY;

Araw ng mga ITAY, TATAY, DADDY at PAPA po NGAYON – –

Pwedeng-pwede po silang mag-“relax”, maglimayon  at MAG-BULAKBOL;

 Matatangbakan nga lang po sila ng LABADA, mga PLANTSAHIN at pati na ang paglilinis ng HAYBOL!

Malaking pasasalamat naman namin sa ating MAHAL NA PANGINOONG DIYOS….

Ang aming AMA ay mag-NONOBENTA’Y NUEBE ANYOS;

Matikas at makisig, derecho pa rin KUNG LUMAKAD- –

Pasasalamat po talaga kami, at hindi siya katulad ng iba na halos ay KINAKALADKAD;

POGING-POGI pa rin, kahawig po nga ng kunti, ng actor na si ALAN LADD!

Nang dumating and PANDEMIC noong isang TAON…

Nahinto ngani ang kay DADDY MAX na PAGLILIMAYON;

Dahil nga hindi naman sanay nan aka-BARTOLINA sa KUARTO – –

Kapag giniginaw na sa AIRCON, “turn-off” muna at kung tagaktak na ang PAWIS, “turn-on” uli ng TODO;

Kaya dalawang beses na PULMONYA, matigas po kasi ang ULO!

At meron pa rin siyang unforgettable and frightening COVID EXPERIENCE..

But what happened to him and unto all of us, made REAL SENSE;

That COVID is indeed DEADLY, in fact, it was his personal driver who EXPIRED – –

Who was DAD’s driver for many YEARS, bringing him to PEFTOK’s meeting, so loyal as RAMIL would usually ABIDE;

As though some sort of redemption,    because of COVID, DAD’s personal driver (i.e. RAMIL) DIED!

RAMIL is also a father, the TATAY of my PARALEGAL…

RAMIL would come to our Law Office daily, with errands from our DAD, as USUAL;

He’d be the extra-driver who’d drive for all of US – –

In case, one among my siblings would need a hand to drive with care but FAST;

RAMIL would never say NO, as long as he has no urgent sked with DAD, those skeds written in a BLAST!

And DADDY MAX got infected with COVID TWICE…

Going out of the house immediately upon his first confinement was UNWISE;

Got introduced during the recent SYMBOLIC TURNOVER of FACE MASKS from KOREA – –

Not only a KOREAN WAR VET, but a COVID VET for TWICE…OH YEAH;

Everyone would feel so amazed, even my DAD’s great-grandchildren’s YAYA!

‘Twas nice that my eldest daughter SHAYNA, put up at her dance studio a LUNCHTIME SCENE…

We invited DAD MAX and MERCY, just our family for this FATHER’S DAY OCCURRENCE;

Grab the chance too to bring along DONNA, RAMIL’s daughter, my PARALEGAL- –

And DAD was able to personally CONDOLE and say SORRY, in a way that’s quite REGAL;

Pointing out the LOYALTY of RAMIL, a father who adores DONNA, the late RAMIL’s favorite GAL!

Kaya ngayon ako, sampu ng aking mga UTOL…

Ay halos tratatuhin na si DONNA bilang aming KAPUTOL;

Gagabayan at papatnubayan upang makamit ang pangarap ng TATAY RAMIL NIYA – –

Na maging ABOGADA at maging tagapagtanggol ng kanilang PAMILYA;

Dapat sa pagsusulit ng BAR, pag-pupursigi at pagdarasal kailangan marahil ay gawing  MILYA-MILYA!

Upang ang pangarap ni TATAY RAMIL ay magbigay BUHAY lalo na ang PAGASA…

Layon naming si DONNA, sa BAR EXAM ay tuluyang MAKAPASA;

At dyan nagtatapos ang kambal na kwento ng dalawang TATAY, na ang isa ay humaba pa ang BUHAY – -Tinubos marahil ng kay DONNA, na syang pumanaw na TATAY;

Subalit sa tulong at awa ng DIYOS, at panalanging LUBOS; ang pag-pasa ni DONNA sa BAR, masugid na PAG-AANTAY!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY PO SA LAHAT NG MGA TATAY!

Happy happy birthday to you our legal secretary JESSIMINE…

We’ll start today your birthday celebration via a breakfast laced with CAFFEINE;

This is the first birthday celebration in our LAW OFFICE – –

Which will start in the morn to end perhaps till evening at SIX;

To make you stay with us, until you’ve learned all the lawyers’ TRICKS!

Your June 20 birthday horoscope shows that you’re FUNNY, KINDHEARTED and LIVELY…

Like most other people of this sun sign, you know how to throw a good PARTY;

 You’ve a soft heart, and folks believe that you’re generous and EMPATHETIC – –

You love helping people in need, especially those whose work sked is a bit  HECTIC;

And those are no other but me and my law partner Attorney VIC!

Nonetheless, you’re particularly sentimental and you’re also so INTUITIVE…

 Those qualities make you exceptionally good at interacting with people, which I do BELIEVE;

You’re sharp and precise and you like the attention that it can bring to YOU – –

And you’re dramatic, charismatic, and an outgoing charmer who love to help by talking THROUGH; . With excellent communication skills and an innovative mind crammed with insights, make you a witty conversationalist THROUGH AND THROUGH!

Tomorrow, you’ll have to start playing our badminton  GAME…

You’re deemed athletic by our co-player MON, who when losing would feel irked and ASHAMED;

Let’s be the tandem at plays on TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS – –

So that MON and DONNA would win, and MON will feel joyful with JUMPS and SASHAYS;

But I’d still insure that we beat them on SATURDAYS!

As a tender and nice GEMINIAN,  you can be plagued with an impressive stubborn STREAK…

With this quality though, you possess a heart of gold and courage of a lion, the royal jungle king and BEAST;

This way of thinking and acting will take you places you’d never dream OF – –

We can have an office outing in BORACAY, Attorney VIC’s choice, which I think is OKS;

Of course, when we’d collect lots of moolah from DUMDUMA, which VIC would try to get thru COAX!

On your natal day, which was yesterday, a sacred SUNDAY…

I hope that you’ve offered prayers too for our Law Office’s PROSPERITY;

Your LUCKY NUMBERS are 7, 9, 11, 12, and TWENTY-ONE – –

Add one more, and perhaps you’ll be able to win in the BIG ONE;

That’s the MEGALOTTO, and upon winning our trip to BORACAY, will automatically COME – –

Paid by your LOTTO winnings, we’ll enjoy BORACAY with some FUN and some WHISKEY and RHUM!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSIMINE!

Happy happy birthday to our diligent and hardworking PREXY…

A lot of residents in K-VILLE got awed and amazed by his governance, including one who’s SEXY;

For those  innovative improvements that got installed in NO TIME- –

Wows, lauds and praises were showered, better perhaps with the sound of a melodic CHIME!

The funds of the association seemed to have gone BLOATED…

For the collection efforts indeed have become most efficient and even went ACCELERATED;

And a CCTV system got installed to make living in K-VILLE much more SAFE and SECURED- –

Perhaps in the future a fire-fighting truck would even be PROCURED!

As a person born on JUNE 18, which is near the GEMINI- CANCER CUSP…

You’re considered as LUCKIEST OF COURSE – you’d say WHAT’S UP;

For being an intelligent and outgoing PERSONALITY- –

Wouldn’t even think from your looks that you’ve  passed the age of FORTY!

That nearing point of zodiac date-transition is called the CUSP of MAGIC …

And that’s the reason why you’re AMAZING and so rich in LOGIC;

You can safely do and make right things HAPPEN- –

For you’re a cautious but precise person and if you’re  a doctor, you’d easily make the COVID curve FLATTEN!

You’re strict but you’re also so compassionate, empathetic and so NURTURING…

You’re the best exemplar of LEADING, LOVING and CARING;

You’re even deemed as so dynamic with an exciting level of ENTHUSIASM – –

And that, you demonstrated it, as our K-VILLE PREXY to thwart  any hint of a CHASM!

As you’re a tactful  COMMUNICATOR and so fantastically VERSATILE…

You could act like a diplomat par excellence, who’d patch up any strife with a SMILE so warm like a red-hot STEEL;

VERSATILITY in you, makes you a jack of all trades, as you’re a HIGH ACHIEVER – –

And you’ve served our K-VILLE with dynamism and much FERVOR, to make it so vibrant,  so SAFE and SECURED FOREVER MORE!

On your natal day, TODAY which is a FUN-FILLED FRIDAY…

I’ll offer prayers for you and for the whole K-VILLE COMMUNITY;

I hope too that you would continue to LEAD, CARE and LOVE – –

Let’s all pray further too for our country amidst the PANDEMIC, and for us all to reap more blessings from up ABOVE!

Happy happy birthday Prexy BOB!

[BIRTHDAY CELEBRANT BROD PONS SORIANO IS SHOWN IN THIS PHOTO, SECOND FROM LEFT. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROD PONS!]

 

Happy happy birthday my dear Brod PONS…

When I entered the FRAT, you  never did hurt me, neither a  SLAP , nor a PUNCH;

It was chiefly because you were not present in the RITES- –

But I’ve been memorizing your name, looking towards the sky for aid, as if I were flying KITES!

As a person born on JUNE 16, which is near the GEMINI- CANCER CUSP…

You’re considered as LUCKIEST OF COURSE – you’d say WHAT’S UP;

For being an intelligent and outgoing PERSONALITY- –

Wouldn’t even think from your looks that you’ve  passed the age of SEVENTY!

That nearing point of zodiac date-transition is called the CUSP of MAGIC …

And that’s the reason why you’re AMAZING and so rich in LOGIC;

You can safely do and make right things HAPPEN- –

For you’re a cautious but precise person and if you’re  a doctor, you’d easily make the COVID curve FLATTEN!

You’re so kind and so compassionate, empathetic and so NURTURING…

You’re the best exemplar of LEADING, LOVING and CARING;

You’re so faithful and loyal to your wife, the lovely Manang FE- –

You’d surely cower in fear from a temptress, even if such temptress is so seductive to a TEE!

You’re even deemed as so dynamic with an exciting level of ENTHUSIASM…

And that, you demonstrated it; as our FRAT’s founding father to thwart  any hint of a CHASM – –

As you are a tactful  COMMUNICATOR and so fantastically VERSATILE;

You could act like a diplomat par excellence, who’d patch up any strife with a SMILE so warm like a red-hot STEEL!

VERSATILITY in you, makes you a jack of all trades, as you’re a HIGH ACHIEVER…

And you’ve served your hometown as MAYOR with dynamism and much FERVOR;

And now MALASIQUI is a commercially vibrant COMMUNITY- –

It was in part because of you, despite the mysteriousness of CANAAN’s BALETE TREE!

 

On your natal day, which was yesterday, a WONDROUS WEDNESDAY…

I’ll pray for you and you’re whole clan and FAMILY;

I hope too that you would continue to CARE and LOVE – –

Let’s all pray too for our country amidst this PANDEMIC, and for sure you’ll reap more blessings from up ABOVE!

Happy happy birthday Brod PONS!

 

 

 

Happy happy birthday Attorney DADA…

As for me, you seem to be a unique lawyering-DIVA;

For when you argue in court, you look as though reciting melodic ARIA- –

Articulating your words so eloquently, you’d trash almost every attorney in any  lawyering ARENA;

And you’d in the future be crowned as a QUEENLY ADVOCATE, like your co-HARVARD alumna, MICHELLE OBAMA!

 

With your confident stance and pose, before a MAGISTRATE…

You’d enunciate legal maxims, as though you’re warbling songs atop a STAGE;

And your pronunciation is so precise, and you’re even doing apt PAUSES- –

Which surely would be profusely admired by topnotch law offices’ BOSSES;

But you’d prefer to stay in your DAD’s LAW FIRM, ignoring occasional LOSSES!

 

As a GEMINI person, you are truly BROADMINDED…

You’re much more positive but a little bit SENSITIVE INDEED;

A critical thinker and even flexible and SO TRULY SMART- –

So insightful too, as you can anticipate an outcome though not as yet on START;

That’s what you’ve inherited perhaps from your late DAD, who has a BIG HEART!

 

GEMINIANS are notoriously very sociable and social  ZINGERS…

They love to chatter, and just like DADA,  she’ll dazzle everyone she ENCOUNTERS;

Naturally gifted with the knack of making everything she does look EASY, feeling much CONTENTED – –

Affectionate and warm,  though so logical rather than emotionally MOTIVATED;

And being a friendly-fun individual, with much love of people, you can (with the 2022 polls approaching) even be easily ELECTED!

 

On this your natal day, my much admired and idolized ATTORNEY…

You should find time to relax, make it YOUR regular cup of TEA;

As to luck, your luckiest day is SUNDAY- –

And your lucky numbers are 7, 8, 9, 52 and 55; add one more for MEGALOTTO to PLAY;

But don’t ever forget to  share unto me SOME BALATO  on MEGALOTTO PAYDAY!

Joke, joke, joke!

Maligayang Kaarawan Attorney DADA!
