(Sherilyn)
As I cruised gaily along the tempered path
welcoming the sweet smell of summer flowers
flowed in like elder flower champagne
My consciousness is telling me that I'm not alone.
The heavy boot marks trailing
spin fantasies in my dreamy head
Both: Ten steps to the crossroads, I was delightfully greeted
by a tall (pause to look at Sashi then look back at audience), not so tall, dark and handsome lad.
Both: Ten steps to the crossroads, I was delightfully greeted
(pause)
(Sashi)
By a tall, slender, sassy lass
In a split second, the left masculine machinery took over,
Scanning target sir !
Target is healthy sir!
Target’s vertical altitude, surpass current capacity sir!
Horizontally is target within capacity? Privet?
Sir! Yes! Sir! Soldiers waiting to fire sir!
Roger! Proceed to explore terrain ….. my mind fired
I was blown away, when a gust of wind parted her hair to reveal her face
From analytic to intuitive my mind raced
She was of fair skin with husk of gold
With sweats of pearl on her face, she seemed like a flower in the morning dew
Her arms were like garlands, where my neck was the perfect fit.
Her gentle steps seems like a dance to the song of the evening mood.
As she came closer, I felt like ascending into heaven
For she was a Goddess, Aphrodite in sweat pants
Both: Ten steps to the crossroads, I was delightfully greeted
(pause)
(Sherilyn)
The echoing gestures emitting from my body
can be categorize into 3:
I like him, I love him and I want *middle finger*him
There ain't no, physical, doubt about it
There ain't no, philosophical, doubt about it
(bites lower lip)
Petrified by the impending wanton pandemonium.
Both: At the crossroads, I was delightfully greeted
(pause)
(Sashi)
I mustered my macho steps and broke the silence
“Hi” (high-pitched voice)
(Sherilyn)
I took ten steps back (then walk off from stage)
(Sashi)
What the fuck was I thinking?
“Was there a unicorn in my mouth?” (high-pitched voice)
Hey, wait up! (addressing to Sherilyn)
No time to say "thanks" guys! (addressing to the audience)

Humans
(Sherilyn)
Humans,
We wear the oddest outfits
We don on the strangest tops
We slip on varieties of synthetics
Checked shirt, striped blouse
Ripped jeans, bursting at the seams.
Humans,
We wrap ourselves, often at the wrong places
Too tight, that one can hardly breathe
Too tight, that one requires a rescue mission
If harnessing skin tight clothes is your fear
Then you're kissing the wrong fear goodbye.
Women,
We worry about the volume of our hair
We worry about not having deeper 'longkang'
Keeping Triumph abreast to conquer our insecurities.
Women,
We worry about the length of our eyelashes
We worry about what kind of mascara to put on
Age REALLY does not define the length of skirts
Our minds are cleaner than a man's, cause we change it more often.
Men,
You... worry about... nothing.
(Sashi)
We worry about nothing?
Lady, We sow the seeds for everything!
Men,
We worry about the size of our ‘batang’
We worry about not being on time and ‘cummin’ early
Boxers, jock strap, briefs,
We worry about salah parking
When the fly's open, we worry about our brother out looking
We worry about our beer belly (taps belly)
We worry about the hair that's not growing on our head, but sprouting at other regions
Every day, man wake up and looks at the mirror and asks 3 important question
To shave or not to shave
To booze or not to booze
To fornicate or not to fornicate... well we know the answer for this
Our worries have been there since the dawn of time.
Yes, your minds are clean ladies, as it's our hose that does the work!
(Sashi looks at Sherilyn and winks, Sherilyn walks off the stage)
Women,
They get you all excited and leave you there hanging.
Hey, come back! We haven’t finished yet. (shouting at Sherilyn)
