Promptus Arriveth In the Midnight Clear

one "V" descended at Desi's Place in the midnight clear about s'x months ago when NegaraKu
was darkened and dulled by ministers who turned robbers at night and daytime too
he did not subty suggest that VVe light a bonfire at that mansion in disgrace
desi's awed by de arrival of such a soulmate of great faith and amazing grace


so VVe exchange s-mile-s and rumour and humour amidst tehtari', laffter and banter
oh, it's another mariner
so VVe told tales ala "tell it to the sailors"
indeed he brought a'long a newbie ancient mariner as enforcers

todie i tell ye "V" is prompting us
those who work wit' one eye open or just two eyes closed
in honeymoon fever by the swanny or ujong ribber
be carefool, mariners and blardy writhers can make wonder
they 7-10million mansion VV break asunder
and thee and SIL and daughter outlawed VV stop their plunder

so fear no more
faire and l'ving malaysians
come on board wit' us prompters
mariners, poets and frighters
we are One and awe are VVe
wit' heads held up high
VV shalt march to Vict'ry
as robert burns rode for scotland
mariners of various hues and desi write for thee


8.08am
dedicated to Mr Stuart Russell aka Captain Abdul Karim
and his luv'ly wife chic Fasidah,
on this day of 25th in January
etch'd in singin' harmony and memory
Ol'e matey, first or second, ENJOY thy JOURNEY

Dear Esteemed Readers, now be an obedient gal oh boy!
pay a virginal visit to "mindful mariner" at http://promptus.blogspot.com don't be coy!:)

From the gracious host's virginal post, the closing stanza of a poet who gave thee
Auld Lang Syne, don;t you remember!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll mak it whissle;
An' legs, an' arms, an' heads will sned,
Like taps o' thrissle.


Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o' fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if you wish her gratefu' pray'r,
Gie her a Haggis!


Robert Burns 1759-1796

Hi Desi,
Thanks so much for your very kind introduction.
Just noticed you have returned from your minuscule vacation.
Rejuvenated and fit as a fiddle I sincerely hope.
VVelcome back.
