A Saudi Guy’s Halloween

October 23, 2017 Sujash Islam Purna

A Saudi Guy’s Halloween

 

He made Belgium waffle in his purple spirit shirt

With a tiny bald spot on and an American girl

Engaged away to guy from Hong Kong

 

He is alone with his Apple MacBook and coffee

Chemistry was in his blood and now

He is eating breakfast all by himself

 

His friend’s departure, Islam in the air

While he is succulent of all thoughts

That surround him like grapefruits

 

For none to share with, he is a chair

A Halloween prank would be himself

In a happy mood, with a fake American girl

 

Married or Haremed or Chemistried

Side by side like metal and non-metal marry

She is none, he is happy

 

Halloween.
