A hokkien letter

Found this online somewhere, which I'm sure my hokkien speaking peng-yous...

enjoy:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
From the philosophy of Mr. Ong Ah Bee

Recently, my white MP,
Kok on my door, and very kek ki..
Say ‘I’ve worked so hard, so vote for me’,
‘Or rubbish won't be cleared, in your vicinty'..

I said ‘Dear MP of my GRC’,
‘Dun remember u, so please pardon me’..
‘I only saw you on TV’,
‘Dozing off and jiak liao bee’..

Last GE I voted for thee,
2% up in GST..
Cut CPF and up utility,
Are still very clear in my memory..

5 years later, then you come to me,
Fresh from your slumber of ivory..
Say that only, you can help me,
Escape from a life of poverty..

Just take a drive on CTE,
Count the number, of all the gantries..
Or squeeze a ride on the MRT,
That has not been cleared for ye..

My life since the last GE,
Has been downhill though I voted PAP..
If I vote the same for your sleeping spree,
I can expect the same misery..

So this time round, I vote for somebody,
Who will kachiao you, to productivity..
Forms fill wrong, no big deal to me,
If there’s someone to speak up for ah bee..

So dear MP of GRC,
If life no improve, vote u cho simi?

Dear Mister Ong Ah Bee,
I have read your little BlogGY
It is realli very da funNI

And I tot the election comittEE
Say podcast is illeGY
U tink they will ask u go lim koPI?
Or spend a nite at old ChanGI.

Did u send yr blog to the MP?
Or refer it to Mr LEE?
Maybe to the Worker's ParTI
Or perhaps Doctor Chee?

I realli like your kind of poetRY
Hope u wun mind ME
Maybe i will try to coPY
In my own little bloggy.

Yours sincereLY,
From JeRI.

His response:
allo mister goh jeri,

and ain't no podcast, can't u see?

go ahead and copy freely,
juz dun forget to acknowledge me..
and after you're done, and a little free,
tell me what is a 'bloggy'..
