Food haiku

I'm on a haiku roll here. Here's something I wrote on the back on my credit card bill envelope. (Found a good use for something we all don't like.) Had some thoughts about the recent food fight Malaysia had with Singapore not long ago.

Bak kut teh, is it
our dish or Singapore one?
Don't care; don't like pork.


Copyright for food
Ministry seems to not have
much work to do leh.


Chilli or pepper?
It does not matter at all
to the poor, dead crab.


We fight over food
that we all enjoy. Meanwhile,
millions go hungry. 
(It's actually a billion, but I couldn't wedge that into a haiku)
