When I'm bad, I'm bad

Ok. I would be lying if I say my kids (Teacher slang for their students) don't give me a hard time, especially when it's almost time to go home. They would go through great lengths to annoy me at times.
One kid came up to me last week and asked me to translate a love poem. Trouble was that I'm not good at translating sappy Malay poems that went something like
Cinta,
Kenapa ia pandai berdusta
Berpura-pura
ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz....................
Since the devil in me was a bit bored, I decided to have a lil fun.
Your love is crappy,
Your love is bull dung,
It stinks like hell
Cause your love came out of a horse's arse.
So I asked the kid to try out on a couple of girls before he tried on his girl. The reaction we got was lots of giggles, especially about the horse's arse!
The boy was still in doubt though. "Mengapa ia ada hell?"
I explained that sometimes waiting for true love is a "penyeksaan". He took the bait.
The next day.....
"Apa Teacher ah, kana tampar ku kali ah!"
Ha, ha.....pay back!
