Sa-li-kod! A-lam-ko-na!
Ha-nap-in! A-lam-ko-na!
Literal translation:
It’s hiding! I know!
Over there! I know!
In the back! I know!
Find it! I know!
Second attempt at tanaga- a Filipino poetry of four-lined stanza, with seven syllables in monorhyme.
Author’s note: Used spelling convention of the Japanese language due to not knowing how well to spell words in the Filipino language. A back and forth dialogue between Paw and Maw, respectively, about locating a missing bottle of medication.
