Isang araw noon doon sa simbahan
Dalawang madre sakrista’y nilapitan
Ang isa’y nagtanong sa batang sakristan
“Ano ba utoy ang buo mong pangalan?”
“Hello po sisters! Ang pangalan ko po’y Juan,
Pwede po bang apeldyido ko’y hulaan?”
“Aba! Basta ba may clue eh game kami d’yan.”
“Sure po… heto na ang clue inyong pakinggan.”
“Apelyido ko po’y gusto n’yong hawakan.
Kung pwede nga eh di n’yo ‘to bibitawan
Pagkarinig nito madre’y nagtinginan
At bigla na lamang sila’y nagtawanan.
Natameme si Juan… gulat at tuliro.
“Naku! Sorry at natawa kami hijo,
Kasi BAYAG pala inyong apelyido.”
Ha! Mali po. Apelyido ko’y ROSARIO!
