GIRL'S-SECOND-GOT-SECONDS !
First man had a tiny bit,
second man had a huge wit.
First man laughed her out of bed.
Second man laughed her back into it !

GIRL-YOU-ARE-SURE-WORTH-
THE-GROUCHO-MARX-EXCLAMATION !
Horse feathers ! Horse feathers !!
like Grouch, girl, I speak to you thus.
What you tell me sure is a myth
as is the winged white-horse Pegasus !

A-WOMANLIKE-WOOD-
I-DID-SKIRT
The wood had a leafy-head of hair.
Full of bird-song she with me flirted.
Sure-pretty offspring of mother earth,
around her tall-legged trees I skirted.

A-MAINLINE-MEANTIME-
NATURALLY?
For such a tallish-female
she feels dwarfed by men
as well as by the huge-city.
Looking up at London's Big Ben
will there come a time
when - like a fairytale queen -
a long-legged-girl can walk
on the air, far-above the mainstream?

THE-DARK-CHOCOLATE-COATED-
KARMA-FOR-THE-SURELY-SOUR-FASCIST-
KRAUT?
They worked at the factory
where they turned out confectionery,
each a hand in making chocs.
An exposion brought down the walls,
as well as the roof,on one-and-all.
Could have buried their remains in a chocolate-box.

The bomb was dropped by the enemy
come all the way from Germany,
putting an end to their sweet-treats.
Putting an end to the very-lives
of the women, some of them soldiers' wives.
No sweet-tooth had Hitler, sour in defeat.

HARD-HEADED-AND-SOFT-
ASSED-FEMININE-TRIUMPH?
She said "Kiss my ass,"
when we were arguing.
I replied "There's a time and a place
for that kind of thing,
best to call me later, girl,
yeah give me a ring !"
A smile began to form
on those lips that could damn.
Perhaps I got to the bottom
of this head-strong woman?

THE-REALLY-GONE-
MOTH-HEADED-GRANDMOTHER
Moths inside your head,
otherwise empty is it,
and out of your ears
they sure fly-and-flit.

Like a social-butterfly -
one with a cool wit -
you got around when a girl.
Very old and vacant you do sit.

PARTYING-PAIR-
WE-TWO-NOW-WERE
The girl was part-Chinese
and out for full-on-fun.
Atop, beneath, on her knees.
She was spicy on the tongue.
No I don't remember her name.
I sure was party to her game.

for PATTAYA TRADER 180 (D)

MIDNIGHT-MONKEY
She called me 'white-monkey',
some are like that in Siam,
but she said it in fun,
while in bed were we.
"Cheeky white-monkey I am !
The night is far from done !"

SHRUG-OFF-NO-SHARED-
GAINS-DO-SOME-FIND
"I guess we'd be the same
were we in their shoes,"
comes the answer to their own question
when voicing their views
on how the rich won't share
any of their damn gains.
People make it hard to empathise
with any of their money-pains !

for PATTAYA TRADER 180 (C)

EDWIN-AND-HILDA
Like a vampire beheaded,
York's King Edwin sure fell,
to be buried by Whitby-Abbey
there his headless ghost to dwell,
and his great-niece the abbess
had been Hilda-of-Hartlepool,
defender of the Celtic-church,
a princess who was no Roman's fool.

Alas, alas, Rome's empire was to win,
and Catholicism took over Britain
and Hilda's pagan-Christ the King.

for PATTAYA TRADER 180 (B)

FUNFLYER
Run, run, run,
like the hazy yolk-yellow sun
up there in the sky.
Run, run, run,
like the rivers that run,
make that kite sail high.
Run, run, run,
laugh lady, have fun,
even you can fly.

MORE-WANT-MEN
Men want more,
always damn will;
more, more, more,
the time until
they are less, they are dust.
No more to live nor to lust.

for PATTAYA TRADER 180 (A)

DISCRIMINATION
If you can't discriminate
between black and white,
how can you discriminate
between wrong and right?!

PARLIAMENT HOUSE
Interchangeable
but seldom changing,
party politics
is furniture rearranging.
Left-and-right, one-and-the-same,
democracy is a powerless name.

PRICEY-PEACE?
Peace at any price
might make you a slave,
wishing you had fought
or gone to a restful grave.

SURE-NOT-A-SILENT-SCREENING-
FOR-TODAY'S-SHIP-OF-STATE
Remember the 'Metropolis' film
with Fritz Lang at the helm?
Folk are being pushed into the ground;
unlike the film, with-a-sure-noisy-sound.

for PATTAYA TRADER 179 (E)

BREEDING-TWO-WAY-CONTEMPT
It is not the highly-rich don't know.
It is that they damn do,
never having to experience
what the poor folk will ever have to;
revealing contempt, as to welfare,
and for the workers who keep them up there.

YES-THE-SELF-LOATHING-
FEMALE-SHE-WAS-SURE
Brimstone was the girl,
brimstone and treacley;
prejudiced about everyone,
even herself, equally.

THE-FREE-THINKER-YOU-CAN-
HERE-FIND
Some dare climb mountains,
or dive into the depths of the sea.
Some dare to imagine
how better the world could be,
and some dare to write it down
in countries just far from free.

for PATTAYA TRADER 179 (D)

SHEPHERDING-SHEEP-
WORLD-WIDE
Fleece and slay,
yes fleece and slay
do the guardian shepherds
of our today.
But then has it not
always been that way?

Yes has it not always
been that way...
fleece, fleece, fleece,
slay, slay, slay?
Wolves in shepherds' guise
everyone of them, I say.

IT'S-A-LEGGY-CROSS-COUNTRY-GIRL-
IN-TRANSIT
The fair-haired girl
is cross-legged sat
here in the coach,
on the seat at the back.

She faces the bus's aisle
like a church-bride,
though away from wedlock
taking a long ride.

for PATTAYA TRADER 179 (B)

THE-SILLY-LITTLE-THING
She didn't like the word 'girl'.
I thought I was being flattering.
She thought me patronizing,
that I was down-sizing,
and not, I gather, heightening.
She's a prim-and-proper
old feminist thing.

for PATTAYA TRADER 179 (A)

A-MUCKY-LAUGH-MADAME-
MINE-FIND
I walked along a woodland path
with a girl who had a dirty-laugh.
We lay with our backs to some grass
watching a white-cloud sailing-past.
Fresh-clean-air, she and I carefree,
the dirty-laugh-girl now atop of me !

ON-SPIRITED-WORKERS-
AND-MATERIALISTIC-IDLERS
"Each according
to his own needs,"
and not the merits
of his own deeds?
Might not idle-people have more need?
In the way of spirit, oh yes indeed !

Correction:

As to SATYR-SARTRE verse, should be Jean-Paul (French) not John-Paul.

EVEN-IDEAS-ON-REVOLUTION-
SURE-DO-SELL-OUT
"Che Guevara T-shirts.
Roll up, roll up now !
Buy two, get one free !
(I'll make big money somehow)."

THE-LEG-CHAIN-GANGS
Slaves wish to be masters,
and the poor wish to be rich,
while to vague ideas of equality -
like a chain to a leg - they'll go hitch.

AN-EVIL-PARTY-POWER-
AND-POVERTY
Where the State is everything,
and everything is the State,
find people there are have-nots,
all share the same poor fate,
but not the Party members who
have precious-power over you.

A-SATYR-SATRE'S-EVER-
BUSY-BEAUVOIR
Simone de Beauvoir
was John-Paul Sartre's receiver
of the guy's French-letters,
for she was the satyr's lover.
He called her the Beaver.
Could there be a name that betters?

for PATTAYA TRADER 178 (F)

BULLY-JULIE-BURCHILL
(Left-wing-feminist)
Burchill wants prostitutes shot
when the sex war's over?
Lay the lass, lay the lass,
not in but under the clover !

for PATTAYA TRADER 178 (E)

HER-MAN-IS-NOW-THE-SAD-BUM
She mooned him, mooned him,
mooned him did the sad lass,
because the sun no longer
shone out her guy's cute ass.

for PATTAYA TRADER 178 (D)

SELFLESS SUFFOCATION
Tolerance is one thing.
Imposition is another.
Live and let live, I say,
until the tolerated start to smother.

TUT-TUT-TALLULAH-
BANKHEAD !
Tallulah had slept
with both boys and girls.
Upon a piano, naked,
wearing only her pearls,
hair banked high on her head,
a pianist she planned to bed?

HER-SPOUSE-THE-HOUSE
Give me a girl
who has a career.
Not a housewife sort
whom it is clear
is wife-to-a-house.
A house as spouse !

A-BARFLY-WAS- BERNARD
He was Jeffrey Bernard,
asleep at the bar.
The guy drank hard
and was an anti-star.
A piss-artist right on form.
Boozy-Bernard being the beery-norm.
