Singapore dialect
Add and subtract
Our Singlish tact
Words on the verge
Curl and emerge
Singlish sonic splurge
Local utterings
In subconscious flings
Our common lingo
Tribal vertigo
Local mumbo-jumbo
Unless you know
Our dialect wears a glow
Even in our sleep
In Singlish taverns
Light hearts know heaven
Add and subtract: Ingrained in us like addition and subtraction which were taught to us when we were young
tact: A sense of what is appropriate, tasteful,aesthetically pleasing
