She slept whole day with mind preoccupied

Asleep yet alert to phone calls

All conversations end with Bangkok trip

The next vacation – to Bangkok.

---

Not a plan but to impress gullible common folks

The Septuagenarian couple concealed their annoyance

The duo student-youth suppressed their boiling blood

The trio breadwinner youth listened in admiration

---

For the phone conversation was multilingual

Showiness writ large on her big forehead

She alighted at the fifth station

Her absence restored calmness and relief

---

A day with her was like a thousand years

O what a happy absence, Bangkok lady

But pity your co-passengers in the next train

If I chance to meet you, Bangkok lady

---

I shall tell you, Bangkok lady

“Not you alone have gone round the globe,

No crush course on Home Science please,

I am not impressed, Bangkok lady”.
