Philippine Paradise -Malaysian Sonnet
We dropped anchor that morn in Bacuit Bay.
I wanted to make El Nido our stay,
Philippine paradise where white sand beach
and many near out coral reefs do lay.
Matinloc Island crevice hard to reach
underwater door I wanted to breach
leading to “pristine place of paradise.”
Often I’ve heard it said sight’s beyond speech.
Until then, they say Swiftlet’s Inn is nice
On Balinsasayaw Road, very good price.
I don’t want to sleep on the yacht this night
but enjoy a San Mig Light cold as ice.
Jean, my new won bride, will think it’s alright,
She’ll like Puerto’s Underground River sight.
