东边抢来西边炒

今天的天气不太闷热,老朽闲来无事,心情也不错,再为诸君谱一曲《东西马大合唱》,如何?不过文中主角又有个名不见经传的老阿伯(绝非听到人喊阿伯就“无名火起三千丈”的那位),希望不会又有自作多情的老汉,跑来对号入座,搅起满天风雨!万一遇到一个神经过敏又好打官司的讼棍,也来告我莫名其妙的“诽谤”;虽然坐过“莫须有”的“政治牢”,却从未上过法庭的我,岂非“吃不了兜着走”?(虽然或可因而“名扬天下”?)

且说那天正跟友人在一家食摊叹咖啡,忽然来了个走得满头大汗的老伯,一坐下就大声喊道:“头手,给我来一盘‘蕹菜炒巴拉煎’,要多加些新鲜的上等巴拉煎!”原来这道菜不但不可用过时的陈年巴拉煎,还要趁热上桌,那味道才够美,所以那阿伯又加了句:“手脚快些”!看他那副猴急相,想笑又强忍住了,只怕拳头上身。

听说这小摊厨师的拿手好菜就是这道“蕹菜炒巴拉煎”,驰名远近;这几天更是热卖中,因为有人谣传吃了可预防A型流感!这纯是无稽的道听途说,信者自误;先此声明,免得又要背上散播谣言的罪名!本人平生最怕巴拉煎那刺鼻的味道,任何喜欢吃的青菜(如空心菜、美莲)只要一加进巴拉煎,就得敬而远之,与我“今生无缘”了!所以不等厨师把那“香喷喷”的蕹菜端上,我们就先行离开;跟那正流着口水,已等得不耐烦的老伯说再见了。也因此无法向各位汇报(还不屑说“禀报”)他饱尝“蕹菜炒巴拉煎”后的反应,实在抱歉得很!

那边厢正忙着“炒蕹菜”,只炒锝“吱吱啪啪”响,巴拉煎味满厨房。这边厢早就忙着“抢招牌”,也敲锣打鼓又吹喇叭的;虽然没有“母鸡生蛋”那么热闹,却也不遑多让!这好有一比,那就是,很像我老同学的孙子在玩“大风吹”;你拆我挂,忙得不亦乐乎!其实我们华人做生意(搞政党应该也一样,注意这‘搞’字,意义深长),最怕招牌被泼粪,当然若被“大风吹”(不论是自拆还是被拆)那就更是不得了的“大吉利市”!真是家门有幸,出了不少“同心协力”的好兄弟,吃饱没事做,整天在那里抢招牌作乐,其乐也融融!?

曾有友人问笔者,为何一向对政治没有什么“兴趣”?不是说“国家兴亡,匹夫有责”吗?(应该不是“国家兴旺”)还有那“家事国事天下事,事事关心”,古人说得多动听?只可惜我们的华基政党多是内斗内行,只知争权夺利;到了须为本族群的权益据理力争时,却多畏首畏尾,成了缩头的千年“长寿者”了,岂不哀哉?似此情景,再多的“关心”又有屁用?难道跟着玩“抢招牌”游戏,要不然就也来一道独家的“蕹菜炒巴拉煎”?!(那可真是独沽一味,别无分号的。从祖师爷开始,便已代代相传;那炒的手艺,更是越练越精;确已达到炉火纯青,无出其右的地步!)

不久前,曾有高明在报上为所谓的政治人物“歌功颂德”,本人绝对无意也来赶这趟浑水;只觉得所仿歌曲有些“糟蹋”了,那首当年中国人民“心中的歌”。为此笔者斗胆也模仿了另一首同样曲调的儿歌,内容比较符合本国国情的,作为代替。贻笑大方,实在汗颜之至!

新编歌曲《天灰灰》
(调寄《东方红》)

天灰灰,烟霾起;
鸟城出了个鸟政客。
他借独中争出名,
呼儿咳呀,
他是半圈大救星!


(最后一句重复一遍,并尽量提高声调去唱“大救星”三个字(或“木马人”,任选一个),务必唱得地动山摇,响彻云霄!)

末了,笔者为《东边抢来西边炒》做个结论:“眼睛雪亮”的老百姓,对只会“抢招牌”与“炒蕹菜”者,已完全失去了信心,这是大马华裔莫大的悲哀!

  1. I feel that it is one thing to be dispappointed with the leaders of Chinese based political parties it is another thing to lose all interest in politics to the extent of staying away from all politics as we are rooted on this Mother Earth, it is impossible to lift ourselves up from the dirt to keep clean like the hermits of the old days. I don't mean you are not having the interest of the people at heart, just that it seems you are rather extreme when looking at the local political scene. There are always two sides to the bargain; we do not and cannot rule out there are really fervent politicians working for the interest of the people, so when you stay away from the politics, how are you able to find the true purpose of living as the literary pursuit and scholarly studies all are for the service of the people and no man can be above politics in true life. So excuse me, I think it is still necessary to take side, only stick to the right side !
