Premium Member Secret Selves
I'm wondering about our secret selves - 

The vegetarian smoker

The isolationist who speaks Cantonese

The soldier with the peace sign

The blue collar millionaires
The conservative who dares

The scientist who prays
The vagabond who stays

There's more to all of us than what we seem...

Premium Member A Ride
when i see a mexican dragging a cart full of refuse
I say gracias espera voy regresar con una bolsa con gusto
por usted and if chinese I do not speak mandarin or cantonese
and just a yo will do as I am not choosy to feed your children
a world for us to share babu in a taxi and so hello good by
see you tomorrow in my dreams as they are vivid hubber...

                Cable car, my thrill,
                Mambos up a sunny hill,
                Dim Sum dishes filled.

          * Dim Sum is Cantonese lunch served
            in small dishes, at lunch. Delicious*

Exotic Cuisine

He said he loved of the Mickey,
as he pointed at my friend's faded T-shirt
The native Cantonese man purred,
and said it was his favorite exotic cuisine
Belly, tail and ears
were a most finger licking thing
An acquired taste,
not recommended for the squeamish
The smiling man with the balding hair,
said he squeals with delight
when he takes the first bite
of his favorite American Disney fare...

Premium Member Humpty Trumpys Will To Wall
HUMPTY TRUMPY’S WILL TO WALL

Humpty Trumpy is building his wall,
Hope Humpty Trumpy doesn’t fall
For if Russian or Chinese politicians 
Want to put him together again,
For whatever gain,
Perhaps Humpty Trumpy should first
Learn to say, thank-you or please,
In Russian, Chinese or Cantonese.
But then of course what will Americans say,
To this disarray,
Would they all want to speak the same,
And take part in Humpty Trumpy’s
Political checkers game?...
