it depends upon the readers on how they understand the poem. but for me it has a double meaning. For some conservative people,they will interpret it as naughty. In the other side of the story it just show that a person riding on habalhabal will experience that kind of situation which was stated in the poem.

For me, the poem has a sense because it shows a feeling of the driver and the one who ride with him. Riding in a habalhabal is an experience that is really interesting and the feeling is different from the other rides.

Yes, the driver shows a feeling towards the person who rides with him.

Readers have various interpretations pertaining to this poem but for me it only shows that man has its own weaknesses because the driver is really tricky to his passenger as he manipulated the ride. In the other hand it shows the consequences that we will face if we are riding on a habalhabal.

Yes. For us boys, we consider that as a sensuous topic. But it depends on the reader how they interpret it.

Yes, because it makes sense which some of us can relate in the poem. We cannot deny the fact that we are attracted to opposite sex.

Yes, Let us admit that we can relate to that peom. And specially the driver is thinking bad or sensual things towards the lady. The fact their is that his making love to the girl through their body contact.

For my own interpretation, The poem is considered as sensuous because the poem also relates on body contact that makes the driver became naughty...sensuous means giving pleasure to the mind or body through senses.

The poem is the fruit of the funny imagination of the author thinking of how some of this so called habalhabal driver fantasize every ride they have especially during having a woman in their vehicle, its a little bit sensuous since it narrates the body contacts that brings so much erotic emotions on the poem ^^ yet it still depends on every reader how he/she figures out every line of the poem.
