for PATTAYA TRADER 192 (B)

A-DRAGONLAND-GIRL-
MY-DREAMY-DEM
Oh Dem, ah Dem,
you were my demijohn,
your lips were the wine
I got heady upon.

Oh Dem, ah Dem,
you were the flagon
from which I drank
in the land of the dragon.

UNDER-THE-CLOSEST-ROCK-YOU'D-
LIKE-TO-GO-AND-HIDE-NOW-GIRL?
Girl don't you feel so small
you could mount a lizard, let it crawl
beneath the nearest stone?
Girl don't you feel the size
of one of a green lizard's eyes
you could mount its back, leave home?
Green-eyed jealousy have you let run
just like a green lizard out in the sun.

A-WOUNDING-DIVA-VERSE
She was hot-bloodedly tropical
as well as being topical
and often a cause for controversy.
She'd a tongue of sharp-steel
whose damn-cuts would never heeal.
Folk named her Madam Machete.
Yet when she sang, 'twas a cure
not for any wound, but any sore.

THE-BUDDHIST-REBIRTH-
SORT-OF-THING-VERSE-NO?
You can lose your memory
and sure forget your identity,
and yet you still can be
a functioning part of humanity
as if you'd been born again,
a different person but the same !
