How today could have gone
A jellyfish could have stung me,
Or a sea snake bitten me,
As I confidently waded into the sea.
A humongous Sabah crocodile could have strayed onto my path,
Leaving me to scream helplessly before I became its delicious meal.
One of Borneo’s many carnivorous plants could have picked today to feel hungry,
As I stepped closer to get a better photograph.
Somebody at the local food market could have just cut open a durian, the forbidden smelly fruit, described by food writer Richard Sterling as “turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock”. Or worst still, I could have slept last nigh,
And never woken up again.
Fortunately,
As fate would have it,
I experienced a perfectly exciting day,
And wrote this silly poem.
