hello? gillette?

so, apparently a samad said has indicated
that he is rather unhappy with the burden
of having a rather fancy title bestowed upon him.

just in case you don't know who he is,
he's this really old guy who writes poetry
and maybe screenplays and maybe commercials,
and used to spend the time before smayang jemat kat klcc
sitting down in that hut, maybe munching on peanuts.

anyway, a few weeks ago he courted controversy
because he recited some weird poem or something,
while having some weird flag of malaya behind him.

...yeah, i dunno what the old bugger was up to either.

anyway, because of that, he now feels that the title
wahai sasterawan negare bestowed upon him is a burden,
because it confines his space for alternate and expansive views.

well, first of all, i hope he realizes that some of us don't even
give a crap about his weird poem and that weird flag,
and secondly, i think he should focus on a much bigger burden;

...that bloody beard of his.
