For Carl Poem by Mae Ethan

I never thought I could ever be
Close to this man who is so snooty
No nonsense, serious, seldom smile
He is a guy I once despised.

As days go by, and months crept in
I noticed his kindness from within
Though still a snob and was never polite
I know we'll be friends, but not quite!

I don't know how it started, but I guess
'Twas when he learned I'm an Ilokana - no less!
The once so unfriendly, snot guy
Is now my buddy, I can't deny!

Now I can see his funny side
How he views life and people beside
Ilokano he is and yes he will always be
Forever a KABSAT though not in blood for me!


***Kabsat means a brother/sister (SIBLING)
