for PATTAYA TRADER 129 (B)

IT'S-BARS-AND-BUTTERFLY-
MEN-FIND
You've heard about the Mothman
who flutters around America?
In Siam men are butterflies -
say the ladies in the bar -
who flit from flower to flower
or rather from girl to girl.
Bar ladies do not do that
here in their fantasy world !

JUST-FALLEN-ANGELS-
IN-THE-FLESH?
Britain's Angel of the North
is a tourist attraction,
but the numbers it must pull
are surely only a fraction
to what the Thai ladies pull
with their ready smiles and glances -
in the beer-bars of Pattaya -
and far less steely stances.

KICKED-HIGH-THE-DANCERS-
THEIR-LONG-LEGS
High-kicking girls of the can-can,
under your spell was the-crippled-dwarf-like-man.
Fit ladies dancing on the deck.
Fine frames for the painter Tolouse-Lautrec.

A HOOKER
In her fishnet stockings
by the park gate,
the girl's the hook
and she's the bait,
and if your appetite
has been whetted,
you'll be hooked
as well as netted !

FISHING-FOR-WORD-OF-
A-PAST-AND-FUTURE-KING?
A kingfisher is on the wing
to the home of a Fisher-King
who's the guardian of the holy-grail.
The bird is swift in its flight
to the home of the noble knight
and it carries such a tale.
Of what will the kingfisher speak?
What words come-forth its beak,
bird that is gifted so?
Shall it speak of Arthur woken?
Merlin from his cave out-broken?
Morgan-le-Fay's new heart of icy-snow?
