Once I ate a defective Oreo
I’d imported from Lower Borneo
I’d spent too much money
My stomach felt funny
Then my 'plumbing' gave it the old heave-ho
Velvet wrapped ring case
Holding a Diamond ring
Red roses bouquet
Plane tickets to Borneo
Preamble of proposal

Red and hairy
Brown eyed and wistful
Long lanky arms
That swing from tree to tree
Sweet gentle red man
Of Borneo forests
The greedy have taken
Away your home
Your forests, your food, your memories
Your families - now fading into history’s mist
They have sold you to Cesar and forgot
God made you

Form:
my nails look bad
all crumpled and broken
but my sticking out everywhere hair is a joy
I am a wild child of Borneo
my teeth are jagged and yellow
proof I have earned my age
there is cauliflower in one eye
moving toward the center
tell me again of the joy of old age
I will be grateful when I trade this body in for a new one
resolving to take better care of the next one
my extra pounds jiggle and laugh
I did not think their music could become one iota more annoying
I was wrong
Maybe it’s the loudness; my ears are cringing
My sensitivity is crying
Why oh why do people use pounding music in a public place?
It does not help that I am waiting for a haircut
And two people are ahead of me
Neither of them looks like they even need a haircut
While I look like the wild child of Borneo
Who put her fingers in a light socket
Borneo Pygmy Elephants are listed as, endangered
and they were isolated, about 300 thousand years ago
from their cousins, on mainland Asia and Sumatra
and they are known as, the smallest Asian Elephant
They have shrinking forests, with human settlements
and there’s a lot of logging, with a conveyor belt running
There are palm oil plantations, creating a lot of sediment
and a lot of agriculture, destroying their natural environment
What You Get Free From Wal-Mart
By Elton Camp
Once you had to pay to see the freak show
Now enjoy it free when to Wal-Mart you go
The fat lady is longer found only at a fair
Go to Wal-Mart and she will be there
Likewise for the Wild Man from Borneo
At Wal-Mart he is anytime that you go
To the cooch show you once paid admission
In Wal-Mart, the sluts are on free exhibition
Many customers will range from X to PG
Shop at Wal-Mart and see it all for free
An Indonesian flag is a Polish flag upside down.
The capital of Jakarta is a long way from Warsaw town.
On the islands of Sumatra, Java, and Borneo,
sauerkraut and kielbasa is something they don’t know.
Has the average Indonesian ever heard of Thaddeus Kosciusko?
Does anybody know a good Indonesian joke?
People tell Polish jokes until they choke.
There is little to compare between these two countries.
Poland and Indonesia bear very few similarities.
