canto

my very cantonese experience

my dad brought us to a cantonese service today
and when they started to sing
i felt like i was in a cantonese drama serial

it was rather amusing at first,
with genuine attempts to make out what they were trying to sing
and what the hell the pastor was trying to say

but i soon got tired
and hungry
and very very sleepy

so i was tired sleepy and hungry
with massive amounts of cantonese droning in the background.
not very pleasant

the service went on FOREVER.
every freaking thing was in canto.
that included the words in the pamphlet,
the bible verses on the screen
and the lyrics of the songs they sing

when the pastor finally closed his eyes
i knew he was going to pray
praise the lord!
i hear myself say,

i was finally gonna be rescued today!
