for PATTAYA TRADER 196 (E)

FAR-OUT-MUSIC-FOR-FOLK-
NOT-IN-TUNE-WITH-THE-LATEST-MOOD
Way out of tune
is the minstrel's mandolin,
and he like a gypsy
in his wandering
plays here and there
and everywhere,
though not at the court
of any king.

Yes way out of tune
is the minstrel's mandolin,
he out of sorts with
the mood folk are in,
playing here and there
and everywhere,
even if moods will
often go swing.

Way out of tune,
he's not one for fashion,
but he'll persist
with romantic passion,
play here and there
and everywhere,
in the journeyman
troubadour tradition.

A WILDE WIT
The Oscar? Yes sure,
and wild applause,
for our playwright buried
across from Britain's shores.

THAI-HUSBAND-HE-
THONGSA?
Thongsa, Thongsa,
in your thong,
girl you have got
this big boy wrong.

Like a little girl
go cry you can
but you've been with
a smaller man.
One who is Thai.
Your husband? Bye !
