Fitting Words

Paper View

Oxbridge trained and Wall Street smartened,
L. K. Wise and I. S. Ardent,
Singapore's Old Guard ages faster;
Soon we gain a different master
Just as like to cling to power,
Seeking to prolong his hour
On the stage, as he well knows:
Same Old Guard in different hose.
The Old Man will not retire
Until Death at last puts out his fire.
We the people dare hardly wait:
Before he dies, emigrate.

, maybe

Insulting scansion, euphony, rhyme and meter,
Beware the words of the poetaster.
If these words do not deter,
Then try rhyming with aster astir.
And should you stay the course, become a reader,
Then, blog help you, I am your master.

- "My words fly up, my thoughts remain below:
Words without thoughts never to heaven go."
