英文詩創作：The Banana Cat

這是我之前住巴厘島的鄰居 Audrey Parks Shabbas 在住家附近照的一張照片。裡面有著一隻看起來似乎是被困住在香蕉樹裡的貓。Audrey 知道我喜歡寫詩，所以她促使我幫這個照片寫一首詩。我是以貓的角度來寫這首詩的，牠看起來有點懶，也有點不舒服，因為卡在香蕉樹上動彈不得。

The Banana Cat

Who are thou, to wake me in mine slumber,

For you shalt see me in mine plunder,

Of the unripe bananas that I hold,

As the bananas that make thyself bold!

If thou shalt try to help thyself in this instance,

Do not stand there at a distance,

But lower thy banana tree to the ground,

For unless you do so,

I shall be bound,

To this extremely itchy and mildly uncomfortable banana mound.

In other words,

As the great kings before me would say,

Am ‘Stuck.’
