BELTLESS IN BANGKOK

Bold courage in traditional combat is not enough for the man who left his strap, whose sphincter yielded, who tried to grow his waist with daily doses of the Holy Trinity and a retinue of kor moo yang, nam tok neua, pla tubtim tod, and kai jeow. 

And every morning, the Chef de Cuisine prepared breakfast for a fundraising strategy with the following ingredients:

• 125 grams of internal and external appraisal dried sticks
• 2 tablespoons funding pipeline analysis puree 
• 3 tablespoons of packed grant writing
• 1/2 sliced financial planning
• 2 chopped localization and southern leadership
• 3/4 cup of of firm gender and safe programming
• 2 lightly whisked compliance and organizational readiness

A pack of bruised lanzones was rushed to the emergency room for a retouch... 

POST-HABAGAT LIMERICKS

Fiery and dark, the god of wind and rain got extinguished
Dry and trampled, in the pavement of Ayala it lay vanquished

Sunday Markets applaud its extinction 

Whores came out for mass in Poblacion

Chained, wheeled like clingy lovers

Visions of the age of AI conjured from a routine podcast  

Three champions emerged from the jungle of the fourth round

Victors of a fortnightly learning that weigh less than a pound

Bangkok booked for departures

Emails for the oculist in Melbourne

The Ironman counted hours and planted stubs all around

Charred marinated chicken devoured by a red horse in a hotdog

A final payment and the second disputed account is flogged
An extension card misspelled 

One application reactivated

Old pussy flicking the bean like a downstairs DJ on the phone
