I arrived in the August of Twenty twenty-three,
To the land of smiles my lady to see
To her farm we moved, District Sis a ket in Kanthararom
To me my sweetheart to the rest she was Mum
There a dog named Ling Long spoilt like a child
But the other seventeen dogs seem to run wild
Fields of rice as far as you could see
With water so deep it was up to the knee
The youngest child a daughter who like to run wild
Beautiful like her mother but a rambunctious child
The only son quiet though a fine scholar he be
We didn\'t talk often a trait of his mother you see
The middle daughter working and often away
She was clever and beautiful in her own way
The eldest a mother too and for her siblings as well
She was hard working thoughtful and treated me swell
We built a home which we all would live in
Then word of another came to my sweetheart’s sugrin
For the second child and her partner of Chinese descent
Were wed and soon to them a baby was sent
So baby and mother now share a room
But alas the father works and won\'t be home soon
As for me I want there always to be
A spot on her double bed saved just for me
But before we retire here forever a happy family
I must go back to my homeland for a pension for me
For the laws of my land say that while I am still entitled in a way
I must be there two years prior to claim on my sixty-seventh birthday
I will work until then in what I do best
Putting my skills of sales to the test
But I now am expanding and using new skills
By writing my memoirs to give other the chills
A life of adventure should not be wasted
I let others experience what I have tasted
My books now in three are all about my adventures
With six more to come focussed on different dementures
Some may say what has happened to me is crazy
Though I always survive though sometimes a bit hazy
So my adventure continues now onto a Yatch
To sail Shageye Charlie is the next part of my plot
But I can’t be away from my sweetheart too long
For only together will we complete this love song
I will bring her to me as fast as can be
Arranging for her a Visa not easy you see
But I will never give up no way no how
Until both of our Governments us together allow
She is smart, fierce and confident, but still childlike sometimes
Her love always so committed, we will be together for all time.
