Loa is a short poem composed of four lines

having its meter and rhyme.

Sa ibabaw sang kampanaryo

May nag-itlog nga pato
Ginlomloman sang pari
Nagbuto obispo
 Above the belfry
A duck laid eggs
Incubated by the priest
Hatched a bishop

Didto sa amon balay

May manok ako nga si Bukay
Ginbulang ko sa Janiuay
Nagdaog pero patay.

There in our house

I have a chicken named Bukay
I brought it to a cockfight in Janiuay
It won but died.

Sa ibabaw sang paho

May uwak nga nagdapo
Tunto nga uwak
May rebolber na hawak

On the top of the mango tree

There is a raven perching
Stupid raven
Holding a revolver gun
