Ugly habits of Singaporeans

It has almost been a tradition

The bad habits of Singaporeans

Were passed down through the generations

Heaven forbids that they should be broken

Aside from the refusal to behave courteously

Peak hours at train stations are a nightmare, literally

What happened to campaigns that educate properly

The need to impart good values to society?

Another example was at a hawker centre

During lunch after Wizard of Oz rehearsal

Ben bought a packet of tissue paper

"Seat Reserved" was printed on the plastic liner

I had noticed the habit that Singaporeans deployed

to put a little something on the table of choice

While they carried on to buy a meal they would enjoy

And denied others carrying food a decent place to eat, oh joy

At first, the little something was a bag

Then it was tissue paper in a pack

Now you can even buy them ready to claim

that the seat belongs to someone, what a shame

Manufacturers shouldn't print that on the liner

It just shows lack of consideration in this manner

Why not just let first come first serve be the mediator

I'm sure everyone will be happier

If I ever came across that pack of tissue on an empty table

I would take it and give it to the cleaner

Put my ass on the seat and relieve the heavy bag off my shoulder

So my friends can go get their meals ordered
