Many like Frank Sinatra
Even native Malays  in Sumatra
Whether his  words are sung or spoken
Everyone  knows  that voice from Hoboken...

Premium Member He Sang Like Sinatra
A New Jersey-ite, his name Hobo Ken
For singing ballads, he had quite a yen
  He would sing like Sinatra
  From Vegas to Sumatra
On rails he rode with fellow jobless men

Blackened Silhouettes Fill the Skies
Blackened silhouettes fill the skies
Take heed to coming wind and rain.
Listen to the swirling gull cries
No chance of weighing anchor now
My ship’s the schooner Laurie Jane
With a Neptune sprite at the bow.
We’re for Sumatra come first chance
A fine load of tea ours to gain 
Waiting to sail is a dog’s dance
Now such heinous blackened skies rain.

The Bohemian Life
THE   BOHEMIAN   LIFE


Mess of  last night’s dishes not washed up
Saucer  with a   mis-matched cup
Caged  kitchen hamster gnaws    
Cornflake-box  on his roof over paws
Window sill  crowded with green plants
Radiator drying washed pants
Toaster doesn’t work well
Teabag   jar with curious smell

Delicious dinner, nicest tea
Bread  and jam  the  most tasty
Soft music of  Sinatra
Conversation  about Sumatra...

Borneo Pygmy Elephants

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...

Indonesia and Poland
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.
