Why I like 'Neighbours'

I like this poem as it has many hidden meanings which without deeper thought and concentration, one cannot find. For example, 'I' say that she shouldn't wear shorts at home. In a normal circumstance, this dosen't make sense. However, if you link Hari Raya with not suppose to wear shorts at home, it makes sense. Many Malays are Muslims and they do not believe in showing any skin even at home therefore she says this as an insult towards the neighbour. Another example would be that they smile at each other friendly when they meet but hold with clenched fists tight in their hands showing that their friendliness and like for each other is only on the outside. On the inside, they hate each other as if they are fighting an invisible war.
