new (light) verse

the origin of this verse is that someone once asked me where i live.
when i said "Wugu",
she told me: "你的發音不標準,你應該說: 'ㄊㄧㄢ ㄇㄨ' 。"


阿兜仔的鼻子都很高
阿兜仔的薪水也太高
阿兜仔都信基督教
阿兜仔愛吃麥當勞。
阿兜仔不住五股
阿兜仔都住天母

阿兜仔都有啤酒肚
因為阿兜仔愛喝啤酒
阿兜仔不吃臭豆腐
但是阿兜仔敢住四樓。
住五股是外勞
老外都住天母。

阿兜仔機車騎太快
而且一直沒駕照
阿兜仔的女友都可愛
但是咪咪比男朋友小。
阿兜仔不住五股
阿兜仔都住天母。

阿兜仔都有紅頭毛
阿兜仔會留鬍子
阿兜仔愛毛手毛腳
阿兜仔都像猴子。
但猴子不住天母
猴子應該住五股。

  1. Wow, it's cool, the verse is interesting, it somehow describes the situation some foreigners would meet in Taiwan. But, I guess, it maybe just a stereotype thought by a few Taiwanese people.
    PS: I knew this blog from Wei-tien.

  2. My Taiwanese student sent me a link to this poem today. I don't think I've ever gotten so much enjoyment out of a Chinese poem written by a foreigner! I like 霽月 as well.

  3. you're too kind;
    and too flattering calling it a "poem,"
    shame, but if "light verse" is what the muse is sending lately,
    "light verse" is what i mostly write
