Penang button       Mud-skippers
    by Cecil Rajendra
 

Mud-Skippers
With oversize head
myopic pop-out
foraging eyes
and versatile flippers...
these shrimp-like
slippery, slimy creatures
skip nonchalant
from this bank
to that, then back...
prompted only by
an appetite & the tide...

Anthropologists
far and wide
come see them
perform their self-serving antics...
not in mangrove swamp
but in the mud and murky
waters of our politics!
