for PATTAYA TRADER 257 (D)

DIVINE MADNESS?
Mystic or mad-monk ?
Which one was Rasputin ?
Was he a cure or a curse ?
And did he have a fling
with an infatuated Tsarina ?
Was Romanov a romantic dreamer ?

A-MIDWAY-DARK-DAY
You're at the crossroads
in your mid-life-crisis.
The clouds are black,
the wind's a wild kiss.
Which route you take
find there's no escape.

BANGKOK-BURLESQUE-BEAUTY
Black-stockings, blue-garters,
find stripped for me
my lovely-lotus-flower,
my very own Gypsy-Rose-Lee !

WRITER-WELLS-AND-
REBEL-WEST
Scribbler H.G. Wells,
he sure loved the belles
when he'd free time.
With Rebecca West
the guy undressed.
She'd a liberal mind.
The Time Machine -
for such a team -
could've saved more time !

PENNY BLACK
Turn up can bad Penny,
the spot she lives is as black as any.
She leaves on men her stamp
like the lousy Victorian vamp.

DULL DAY ?
Pink, blue or even green
the alien visitor might have been.
But witnesses said he was grey.
Would a starman brighten your day ?!

A-BIG-FIX-BOXER-FIND
Being a boxer in the ring
makes of the man a king.
The spectators come very-much alive
when his opponents take-a-dive.
He's a pretender on the throne,
but not even the 'losers' moan.

IT'S-AMSTERDAM'S-LOST-POINT-MAN
He lapped-up the Heineken,
whoop ! whoop ! whoop !
The Red Light District disappointing
now he had the brewer's droop !

SKATING-ROUND-COPS'-QUESTIONS ?
Kate Skate -
from Billingsgate -
is a fishy sort.
She flatly denies
she is telling lies
'oft times the girl is caught
in a slippery situation.
Theft is her occupation.
