Quite An Experience

Quite An Experience They said the Philippines and Thailand We're both Third World countries Yet the glittering business centres In Manila and Bangkok were superb Among the world's finest in design Bringing in top revenue Employing the best minds Pushing what was possible Brian worked in both cities In his six years and counting He was quietly proud of his career Always doing his best getting average scores Sometimes the highest never low Except in the early days When he was a new cherry A German in Asia doing a new job He came here for a gal Long long ago it went from there Flitting between countries working Not on holiday or chilling out Using 21st century systems Taught by committed trainers In time becoming a good rep Aged in his forties and fifties Keeping up with agents Half his age in work and drinking In a million years when Brian died he would look back And think was all that real It was quite an experience
