Singapore

Once upon a rhyme
Influence set the chimes


Attend to reasons
Beyond mere season


Intent brought firm acts
Craft of steady tact


Days and months and years
Work outlived most fears


Here upon these shores
New rites now pile more


Laugh with bold struggle
Rumble and tumble


Odd one out of place
Mad mad rush we race


Influence flavours change
Fit the dance most strange


Glimpse the city streets
Sync with change that greets


Once upon a chance
Sojourn wrought sweet dance


Pragmatic swift swirls
Cash confronts new world


Check the passage here
Dream come true fits sphere


Watch change alter range
Live odd embrace strange
