from PATTAYA TRADER 115 (A)

VERY-WELL-VERSED-IN-DECEIVING-
LITERATE-PEOPLE
Read the Beano, the good book,
or the unabridged Ulysses.
Very few are the individuals
get through the latter two of these.
Yet the quotes come thick and fast.
I thought it was the Beano just for laughs?

IT'S-THE-GREEN-SHEEP-FARM-FIELD'S-
SURE-DREAMY-AND-PIPING-HOT-
GUSHES
Seraphic pipes on a molten green
and a shepherd's song so serene,
we lie together, girl, in a dream
that no artist's brush could explain
as do our minds' own-gold-picture-frame.

FLACCID-FRENCH-LETTER
I'm a poet.
She's a chanteuse.
I'd send a note
but what's the use.
I don't know Gallic,
it'd be flaccid-phallic.

YES-LIFE'S-EVER-CYCLIC-SEA
Yes-up-and-down, round-and-round,
on-a-sea-of-change-ever-bound.

COSMIC CRUSOE
What oceans of space and time
did he cross to find she
on whom he might dearly rest his eyes
and call "The other half of me"?

What suns, what planets his spirit pass,
which corner of this earth explore
like castaway Crusoe his island,
to find her footprint on the shore?

From the crow's-nest of his soul's ship
the starry seascape he was to view,
and now he's found his true love
he watches the pearly heavens with YOU.

YES-A-DAMN-COOL-JACKSON-FIVE-
JIVER-WAS-A-VERY-PRETTY-
JAPANESE-LADY
Upon my poet's word,
the girl was a mocking bird.
Mocking him the night long.
A lovely Japanese,
he went weak at the knees
while his heart beat strong.
Served the drinks she
and drank them he
till the bottles had all gone.
"You have Jack, some five,"
she whispered and began to jive
"you want me put on song?"
The man felt himself blush
"You now the Royal-Flush."
The card-game was going wrong.
To rise he wasn't able,
so he slipped under the table
thanking God the night was done.
