Poem: Singapore Tourism

SINGAPORE TOURISM

Once I was bit by a travelling tic,
So away I did to Singapore Republic.

And having taken my refuge there,
I sampled its tourism fare.

The following I thought worth to pen,
So take heed, o Singaporean:

Oh your malls are proud and commercial
They boast your success economical

Your marvellous public transportation
Excels throughout your entire nation

Your warrior lads do Herculean feats
Your maidens are lithen-limbed and sweet

You're a paragon of efficiency
Naught compares to the Lion City

But as I was bound on the homeward tack
You said "Thank you sir, please come back"

Well the whole point of this poem's to sing
My answer, which is the following:

"It once was in me to visit you again
But then you tried to drown me in your f***ing rain!"

Poem: Spiderweb Jewels


On roofing rafters,
Hung

A delicate construct
Clung

A cobby chandelier
Dangled

With dewdropped mists
Tangled

The shimm'ring silk
Threaded

With glist'ning pearls
Beaded

On Nature's necklace,
unwearable

By mortal hands
untouchable

Spiderweb jewels
unownable

A tiny masterpiece,
Insect.

A touch of God
Perfect.
