THE-LADY-LANDLUBBER'S-TREASURE-
WAS-NOW-HIS-BOOTY
The pirate's ship sailed
into a lady's cove,
and there the man found
her hidden treasure-trove.

His hands upon her hills
sure went out to rove,
taking pleasure from the plunder
of a lady's treasure trove.

THE-LIFE-LIGHT-FOLK
The selfish, damn-greedy,
envious and fiercly-manipulative;
theirs the dead-of-night darkness
while in the light the rest live.

THE MYSTICS'-MATERIALISTIC-MENACE
A spiritual home of the Buddha
and where the Yeti's foot had set,
the cruel-soldiers of Red China
have taken possession of Tibet.
They're out to crush the mountain men,
grind them into the ground find.
When wars aren't caused by religion
they're caused by the materialist-mind.

THE WORLD-WIDE-EYES?
Several Buddhist girlfriends
and one a lovely-Hindu,
as well as the white-Christians
whom I have courted too;
it's good to be single
and with foreign ladies mingle
when overseas with a wide world view?

THE BLUE-BROOK-WATER-WOMAN-EYES
Skimming stones upon the water,
in his eyes a far-away look,
he was not to spy the daughter
of the dark-lady of the brook.

No, not to spy the daughter
of the dark-lady of the brook,
who was fishing for a landlubber,
and whose offspring was the hook.

Yes, whose offspring was the hook,
the girl whose gaze upon him cast.
He turned and saw and shook.
She'd a beauty that held him fast.

She'd a beauty that held him fast,
she'd a beauty that held him true.
She'd eyes that a spell had cast.
He drowned in their watery-blue.

A-PERFECT-PICTURE-COULDN'T-BE-
FRAMED-BY-A-MARRIAGE-NO
Your and my love-making
was a work of art,
but now the canvas is
very-much torn apart.
For the picture you sought a frame,
believing that love could be contained.

A SEA-CHANGE LIFE
Take me, do, as I am,
and as I come to be.
All go through changes.
Don't need a girl to change me.
Yes take me as I am
and as I come to be.
All go through changes
just like the great changing sea.

FIND-IT-WAS-A-WOLF-AND-
BAT-MOON-FOR-DREAMY-SHE
A werewolves' full-moon
hung outside her room,
but her man was more the vampire.
He would come in the night
and leave a love bite,
from her he'd then retire.
To the dawn she would awake,
heart pierced as with a cruel-stake,
finding such-dreams only formed of desire.

RELIVE-AND-LEARN-DO?
It's good and bad
to meet with you.
I am just a spirit
passing on through.

I'm heading home.
Maybe I'll return.
We live to die
and also learn?

IT'S-THE-HOUND-ON-THE-LOVELY-
LADIES'-HEAVENLY-SCENTS
They came into my life
and then each-one went,
now my memory's a hound
upon their sweet  scent.
Ah the foxy ladies
with their feminine wiles,
the unchaste Pattay beauties
in the Land of Smiles.

THE-GREAT-DRAGON-RIDER'S-
DARKEST-HOUR-CAME
Blew, blew, blew, the blizzard,
while flew, flew, flew, the giant-winged-lizard,
on its back the grand old wizard.
Blew, blew, blew, the snow-storm,
white as is white the magical unicorn,
only to leave the blackest morn.

THE-FAIR-PLAY-EMPLOYER-
FOR-POOR-MAN-HE
He hates the rich
but hates being poor.
Who'll keep the wolves
from the door?
Some hate the rich
yet play the lottery
though they are not
as poor as can be.
Driven  by envy he is not.
A fair-paid job he hasn't got.

ON-STEPS-PASSES-
WE-TWO-MADE
We passed on stone-stairs.
It was she going up
and I just going down.
Some went up and down in pairs.
Don't give me that dirty-look.
To meet we sure were bound.
Though it was later, and on the level.
Which bedded the angel? Which bedded the devil?

FIND-MERIT-AND-
DAMN-MISFORTUNE
When the wheel of life
is roulette
you take a chance,
you place a bet.

When the wheel of life
is sagious
the gambling habit
is less contagious.

SELF-SALVATION-THROUGH-
INWARD-OBSERVATION-FOR-SHE
Looking to the outward stars
instead of her inner-scars,
salvation lies not out there,
she'll carry her scars everywhere.
This world has much to teach her
if she'd let the lessons reach her.

A-SUGAR-DADDY-GIRL-SHE
After a father figure
was the girl, I know.
A good few years younger than me,
she sat down and said so;
in a bar in Pattaya,
in a land that's young.
I was that father figure.
Sought sugar the pretty-one !

A-GALLIC-GIRL-NOW-POSED-FIXEDLY-
FOR-A-TO-BE-FRAMED-PICTURE
She was from France,
was the artist's rose.
He painted her
without her clothes.

He, an Englishman,
had her naked pose.
The girl shed her petals,
find then she froze.

SMART ALEX
Should the guy wear his bossy-boots
with his smarty-pants, or his clever-clogs?
He'll put on his head his handicap
very sure he looks a top dog.

A-CAUSE-CAREERIST
Don't be a one
to fight a lost cause.
Heal your wounds,
your cuts-and-sores.
Pick yourself up,
dust yourself down,
soon a new cause
can be found.
