A Pantun of An Old Friend

Roses are red, jasmines are white.

Flowers touch a woman's heart.

Once misled, you will not go right.

Knowing much, you won't part.

 

Rain falling down,kids running all around.

River running wild, do not get washed away.

A stranger in another town, his kindness does not count.

Don't act like a child, help others find a way.

 

On a friend to lean, he is so bold.

Friendship means the whole world.

Notes

Pantun is a malay poetic form. it is a four-lined verse consisting of alternating, roughly rhyming lines. The first and second lines sometimes appear completely disconnected in meaning from the third and fourth, but there is almost invariably a link of some sort.
