for PATTAYA TRADER 138 (D)

THE-THAI-POET-PHU
'Twas Suthon Phu,
the celebrated poet who
wrote of a crystal isle
beyond the Land of Smiles.
An island that no more is,
like-Eden, Lemuria-and-Atlantis.

HYMNS-FOR-HEROES-HERE-
FIND
Find them on album tracks
or in a book's open pages.
Hymns to heroes for those who lack -
at these later times, these stages -
the courage of their own convictions
and live lives of sad-contradictions.

A-FAMILY-FUN-DAY-TRIP-OUT
Sonny's dire-catapult
and sissy's sugary-radio feature
upon this rare trip.
A day out to bond with nature.

Daddy's got his gun,
mummy her Home magazine.
Granny wants to get back
for Coronation Street to be seen.

FICKLE-FOLK-FIND
It's too cold or too hot
or it is far too wet.
It is much too dull
or much too colourful.
The weather isn't perfect,
and people - too - are not !

ERICA JONG
"Fear-of-Flying," says his wife,
"is-not-the-way-on-How-To-Save-Your-Own-Life."

A POETESS JOOLZ PIECE
"Men just like to buy," we hear you say.
But women sure do like to shop, Joolz, don't they?!
