When she heard the sound of gunplay 
Auto-da-fé
She sped away
And lived to drive another day...

Would dong it if daughters did wrong 
When the Army made camp
She would light up a lamp
to bong Hong Kong gong all night long!...

 We boarded a flight to Hong Kong 
Our pilot was called Sum Ting Wong
I’d a smile on my face
As his flying was ace -
His parents sure got his name wrong!

Oh beloved teacher
I'm just finding my wings
So I too may soar the
ethers guided by you,
Fragmented and floating.

An Asian pilot died in a plane crash
His name, “Sum Ting Wong” he yelled as he splashed
Drank too much water and choked
Practicing the backstroke
Sank to the bottom yelling, “I'm shrinking” in fact...

Sister World

Oh sister world that can’t be seen
You dwell beside our haunting moon.
Are you like Earth, are your fields green?

His spirit took flight

Like a snowy white dove

With the sun on its wings.

It flew toward the clouds

And disappeared

Leaving only a breath of

Wonder in its wake.

Wishes for magic
stored in an innocent mind.
Stockings on mantles,
sharing Christmas joy and mirth,
never happened in our home.

slithers in snake form then strikes

And share same thoughts with me,
Within their graceful beauty, contain the sea.

On an Asian trip, noticed a sore on my gong
Doctor Smith said “amputation will be needed before too long”
So I saw Doctor Wong 
“It's the Hong Kong Dong
Wait 3 weeks it will fall off and you'll sing a happy song”...

King Kong plays ping pong
His doorbell goes ding dong
And you'll hear his singsong
Chitterings that ring wrong.

Bing bong goes the Ming gong
Just see how the string's long
Thanks goes to Ling Wong
Who tossed the I-Ching strong....

I love being rayon,
 So cool in tropic's heat,
 I dry fast when wet, wrinkle free!
 Audacious hues surprise,
 A medley for your eyes.
 Fabric soft as butterfly wings.

The Silent One was silent too long
Some Soupers said he wrote a new song
The words were too sweet
For Donald to tweet
So the soup was stirred by Marcum Wong*

You are the gift that keeps on giving
Your compassionate wisdom in our hearts will forever be singing...

She called me a friend even though we were ocean apart,      
Her words were beautifully and skillfully crafted,    
Genuine love permeated her chamber,    
She loved the fragrant blossom of spring,
Autumn called her home.

“Your undies I see,” joked Wong Ling
as his girlfriend swang high on a swing.
Suzie laughed and she laughed,
saying, “You are so daft,
‘cause down there I’m not wearing a thing!”

A 
lovely
peacock is,
This love of mine.
A rainbow concealed, 
He would not reveal his 
many colors until he 
felt I would respond in kind to 
his glorious, colorful romance.
As years increase I remain spellbound still!

Blue,
The sky
Reflected
By the ocean.
Blue lips of the drowned.
Bodies trapped, never found.
Blue songs sang to mourn the dead.
Souls in sorrow coping, hoping.
Blue water spout casting people out.
Empty graves with flowers the hue of blue.
