the other day you asked if i have,
ever skipped school.
yes of course,
we all did.
for different reasons.
i went to the zoo.
i was 17 too.
that reminded me,
when she told me she went to the zoo too,
in the night,
not doing her homework,
just to see the elephants.
she said "elephants"!
and she thought i wouldn't scold her,
- for the sake of "elephants"?!
i didn't scold her.
today you skipped my lesson,
for the sake of some girl.
you didn't dare tell me,
because you knew i would be angry.
why did you do it then,
if you knew that i would be angry?
people are the funniest creatures.
i think i should go to the zoo again,
to see the elephants.
but it is sad,
to say that i have to go to the "zoo",
so that i can see them.
then again, maybe they are watching us.
i skipped school,
to go to the zoo,
with some girl.
and the song from the Malaysian Zoo Commercial
went on and on in our heads....
"Let's go to the zoo,
there are lots of things to do!
there's blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah,
and don't know what else the fuck there is...."
