for PATTAYA TRADER 218 (B)

UNDER-THE-WEATHER-WORLD-
WOMAN
Pluto of the two-pronged-fork.
He whom to the Greeks was Hades.
Ruler in the House of Shades.
Girl of the shadows, you're his consort.
You dwell in darkness and despair
with a needle for your prong.
No lyre of Orpheus. There is no song.
And even sunglasses do you wear.

 MADAM MARZIPAN
She lived in a block
the colour of marzipan.
A sure good-looking girl
who was maybe from Japan.
But here we both were
living in Bangkok, old Siam.
I felt like a Samurai
who wanted to be her man.
Yes I felt like a hero
who had come to take
away the colour of marzipan
and put white-icing on her cake.

THE-DAMN-LETHAL-LAMIA-A-GIRL-
WHO-WAS-GORGEOUSLY-DISGUISED
The Lamia of Greece and of poet Keats,
Gorgon-headed is she who snakes and sure sneaks
up on a man, in lethally gorgeous other-disguise.
Binds him her tail. Turns him to stone her eyes.

MARIJUANA MO MP
I knew Mo Mowlam
an I say it is no joke,
marijuana she did smoke.
But as to other politicians
we know are damn crack-heads,
Mo knocked the jokers dead.
