Is this pup a pug? as I looked at the picture printed on my mug.
This Haiku is inspired by a story of a wrinkly pug ” The Pug.” while I was drinking my mug of coffee.
Quotes:-
1. The pug is [a] living proof that God has a sense of humor- Margo Kaufman
2. A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself- Josh Billings
Terjemahan Google – Pug pada cawan saya
Adakah anak anjing ini pug?
semasa saya melihat gambar
yang dicetak di cawan saya.
Haiku ini diilhamkan oleh kisah tentang kutu “The Pug.” semasa saya minum cawan kopi saya.

Of course, boys can cry! (Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com)
Of course, boys can cry!
Face flushed as blood gushed,
watery saltiness felt,
behind nose and eyes.
"Are you OK, dear?"
No, please don't make me cry more!
But thanks, for being here!
"It's OK to cry!"
"That's because you are a girl!
They say boys don't cry!"
"I have seen dad cry.
In history, great men cried.
Of course, boys, can cry!"
This Haiku tells why boys and men can and should cry, as great men did, too, in history! God makes tears for a reason! So, it’s OK to cry!

“Atuk, kenapa kamu tidak memakai coli?” “Kerana saya lelaki. Lelaki tidak memakai coli.” “Kenapa lelaki tak payah pakai coli?” “Kerana masyarakat menentukan demikian.” “Adakah sebab itu ramai wanita dapat kanser payudara? Dan lelaki tidak dapat kanser payudara? “ “…er… Lelaki juga, tapi jarang sekali. ” Kalau begitu, wanita tidak patut pakai coli lah!” “..!!!”
Pada tahun 2018, dianggarkan 627,000 wanita meninggal dunia akibat barah payudara di seluruh dunia – itu adalah sekitar 15% daripada semua kematian akibat barah di kalangan wanita … dan ia masih meningkat. Ia jarang berlaku pada lelaki, sekitar 1% sahaja.
Tourists fly thousands of kilometers to see exotic places. The pristine corners of Port Dickson are ignored. We have them all to ourselves. We are not complaining, but feel it’s ironic. – Co-author Toh HL

“A newborn has only three demands. They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three.” -Dr. Grantly Dick-Read
There must be reasons why we men are so hipped on breasts as if we’d all been weaned too soon. ~Gunter Grass
