PANTUN JURNALISTIK 
 
                 ***
Terang bulan terang di kali
Buaya timbul disangka mati
Orde Soeharto nampak tak ada lagi
Ternyata sisanya masih di sana-sini

                ***
Habis manis sepah dibuang
Kalau ditelan nanti disentri
Waktu kuasa malang melintang
Setelah jatuh kok ikut reformasi

                ***
Ur! ur! Badaur!
Kotak korek api
Maju mundur, maju mundur
Itulah reformasi

                ***
Mulut kamu harimau kamu
Mengerkah dolar kamu
Ikut Reformasi!. Begitu janji kamu
Lho,kok malah meresmikan PDI Orde Baru

                 ***
Go, Go, Go, Allez, Allez, Allez
Bakso, Bakso, Bakso, Onde, Onde, Onde
Mikul duwur mendhem jero itu apa 
artinye?
(Artinye): Kalo ente jadi presiden, berdosa
boleh aje!

               ***
Beringin tumbuh di bawah emper
Beringin aneh itu namanya
Wahai emak, apa arti itu DPR
Dewan Penipu Rakyat itu artinya!

               ***
Seratus kupu-kupu elok semua
Kupu malam lain jenisnya
Lha, kalau DPA apa maksudnya?
Dewan Pengekor Atas itu maknanya!

               ***
Tua-tua keladi
Makin tua makin edan
Di sini pantun saya sudahi
Tapi reformasi terus berjalan

               ***
 
 
JURNALISTIC POETRY 
 
               ***
Full moon over the river valley
Floating crocodiles suspected deadly
Soeharto's order seem gone away
It's remain here and there obviously

               ***
No sweet anymore and the rest was thrown away
If it is swallowed, you will get diarrhae
During his term office, doing recklessly
After resigned, why support reform anyway?

               ***
Hip!, hip!, hurrah!
Matches box is the form
Back and forth, back and forth, Yeach!
That's the reform

               ***
Your mouth is tiger mouth
Bite your dollars
Support reform!, and you promise to promote
Why do you legetimized Indonesian Democratic Party of New Order?

               ***
Go, Go, Go, Allez, Allez, Allez
Ho, Ho, Ho, Yeach, Yeach, Yeach
Highly lifted and deeply buried,what does it mean actually?
It's mean, if you are the President,then doing corrupt is OK!

               ***
Banyan tree grows in the veranda
It's strange, isn't it?
What does it mean with PRC, Mama?
People's Renegade Council we call it!

               ***
Hundred buterflies all is nice
If it flies in the night, it's the other type, man!
Then, what do you mean with SAC, hey guys?
Supreme Acceptance(always) Council, if you don't mind!

               ***
The older the better
The older getting crazier
Here is the end of my poetry
However, the reform going continously
