The Road Into Hoi An
it's broken, the tarmac's crooked,
and it's full of gaping mouths,
and you have to dodge them, 
to save your wheels,
and God!...Jesus! the stink of 
fly-blown fish hits you like an
honest politician;
in the nose and mouth:

and you want to parachute away, 
into the gaping mouths and your...

The Road Into Hoi An Part 2
And the road, the road, is blue and grey,
with sounds and sounds and a new deal
every day, and every way you can think of , 
which shudders the big blue, the big grey 
buildings of plaster and bare, bare brick and
nonsense, no sense electrical, theatrical...

The Hoi Polloi
There’s no need to be all hoity-toity when you’re in the hoi polloi,
My mother used to tell me when I was just a little boy.

Live your life as best as you can and don’t build it up too high,
Because anyway you look at it you’re...

The Hoi Polloi
There was an eagerly keen schoolboy,
Who when used the Greek term ‘hoi polloi’,
His teacher, a pedant--
A kind of stinging ant,
Corrected it to ‘the hoi polloi’;
Sir, my apology,
Ain't it tautology?
No, use grammar, boys as would a toy!

In Greek, hoi polloi means ‘the people’. Thus, hoi is...

I Haint No Recalcitrant Underdog Among Hoi Polloi
Boot juiced abiding
     by ruff dogma, with joie
de vivre, which oft times witnesses
     me being a decoy
occasionally feigning
     tubby an Anchorite, ahoy!

Life in the K9 corps
     aint so ease...

Hoi Polloi Loses the Way
Hoi Polloi Loses The Way

You gravitate away
from the Lamb
who saved your Day
turn back;for you've
lost your way!
Yet, fear not,
for the Prodical Son
wound up with 
a glorious day!

Hoi Polloi: Kick It Up a Notch!

I Haint No Recalcitrant Underdog Among Hoi Polloi
Just a garden variety generic wordsmith 
teasing out reasonable rhyme courtesy ploy;
self plagiarizing boot juiced barely abiding
by ruff dogma, with enigmatic joie
de vivre charisma, 
which oft times witnessed
gentle green giant gentile goy
essentially me being a decoy
occasionally rocketing, outsourcing, 
kickstarting, feigning
tubby an Anchorite, ahoy!

Life in the...

Hoi hasta calor
Hoi hasta callor
Here on earth today
And it is the hottest day
Of the Summer today
It is 48 
I can't take the heat
The heat
Is killing all of us
It is very bad for the people
Who have asthma
And heart problem
I am thinking about
Going  on for a swim
On lake...
