for PATTAYA TRADER 145 (A)

IT-IS-A-HARI-KARI-BEAUTY'S-
HEARTBREAK-YES
Cio-Cio-San;
a butterfly-madam.
On painted wings you glide,
then down into death you slide.
Pinkerton is not the man
for whom to commit suicide.

YES-WILD-WEST-KITTY'S-
LONESOME-DEADWOOD-GRAVE
Kitty Le Roy met her end
at the Lone Star Saloon.
In bed with a 'friend'
she danced to his tune.
Sam Hurley, gun in hand,
crept into the room.

Kitty the jig-dancer
was a well-known whore.
Sam, her furious romancer,
left two bodies on the floor.
Jealousy creeps like a cancer
whether sex is free or paid-for.

ZOLA'S NANA
In a bordello very Parisian
Nana dresses as a man
and on her colleagues spies.
Nana with alluring smiles.
Nana whom a client beguiles.
Nana with the snow-white thighs.
Nana with the icy-heart
and who leaves a taste that's tart.

FANNY-FUN
Fanny Hill
or Venus Mound?
Fanny By Gaslight?
I have found
Fanny by starlight
to be more sound.

VICTORIOUS VERONICA?
Veronica Guerin,
she went all-out to win
with her sure-fire journalism.
Against the drug-gang-jism -
shot dead on a Dublin street -
might martyrdom rise-over-cruel-defeat?

DRINK-AND-DRUGS
Drunkards don't die
as young as do drug addicts.
If you want to age quick
then the former's your fix.
