Have you ever had a teacher you truly appreciated? Many of us have left emotional thank you notes to our teachers who have truly been there for us, telling them how thankful we were for the help and guidance we received.
One kid though, has truly shone brighter than the rest with his note to his teacher.
Facebook page, Makan Viral Johor, shared a note received by a teacher from a student that made netizens let out a collective ‘DAAAAWWWWWW’. Why? Because it was full of poetry-styled pick-up lines (known as pantun in Malay)!

The first ‘pantun’ goes,
“Two, three apples,
I write simple sentences,
If you are single,
Let’s be a couple.”
The second one reads,
“I’ll catch a Siakap fish,
I’ll fry it with onions first,
I’m shy to say,
That I like you.”
*Do keep in mind, these poems, if read in Malay, rhyme perfectly. Sort of. Give the kid a break XD.*

The third pick up line came in the form of a riddle. It said,
“What is the difference between a plane flying to Japan and the teacher?
The answer: The plane flies to Japan, the teacher flies to my heart.”

This comment says, “I think it’s best the mother looks into this, it could turn out to be the father who told him to write it.”
Let’s just look at it from the point of no foul play, this kid may very well go far with his boldness and creativity when it comes to delivering a message. XD
Makan Viral Johor’s posting has since garnered over 1,900 shares.
Why doesn’t anyone write me poems?
