Poor poor Miri residents
Their lives turned upside down by the water disruption incidents
A burst pipe is all it takes
Creating havoc in its wake.
Lots of Mirians are blaming LAKU
It’s difficult for them to keep their cool
Even taking bathe seems to have become a luxury
Life has become such a misery.
Toilets stink like hell
Things are not going well
Answering calls of nature
Are like a little torture.
As taps run dry in Miri
Drinking water becomes a worry
Shops are running out of bottled water
It isn’t a laughing matter.
Water tankers are despatched for water distribution
To help alleviate the situation
With water woes affecting at least 65,000 houses
You really can’t blame Mirians for their grouses.
Laundry shops with water supply are packed with customers
The anger of many Mirians simmers
It ain’t easy coping with the water shortage
Made worse by some unscrupulous businesses taking advantage.
Water storage containers are selling like hot cakes
Some residents are taking their bathe in rivers and lakes
Collection of rainwater is a good option
To help alleviate the situation.
Mirians are trying their best to cope with the water cuts
But some are going nuts
We can only pray for a timely conclusion to the repair
Or else Mirians will be overcome by a feeling of despair.
