The chao phraya river song
by: David Wayne Clare

Down by the River (echo-ee, a Capella) Down by the River (echo-ee, a Capella)

Down By the River, don't dive in, them sharks are real-****-mean but, that's where you'll find me... along with buzzards, ******* and kumoi dope fiends...

Chorus
we love that ***** water ... oh oh oh Bangkok, Thailand; you're my home !

now...
oriental Asian Ladies, Thailand's **** Siam queens
I dig them slant-eyed ******,
them sticky cat-faced chicks on Soi 13!

(Miami Hotel)

cause they love that ***** water ...
oh oh oh Bangkok, Thailand; you're my home !

(Harmonica Solo)

You'll find me trashed one morning (smashed!)
Iced-down in China Town; all crying alone...

One day I'll never leave here (Lord!) Unless an Esan Girl might claim me for her own...
'cause I love that ***** water ... oh oh oh Bangkok, Thailand; you're my home !

Refrain

Chao Phraya River, Chao Phraya River... Chao Phraya River, Chao Phraya River...
Buddha!
Chao Phraya River, Chao Phraya River... Chao Phraya River, Chao Phraya River...

Oh, Bangkok, Thailand... you're my home!

(Sharp jumps from river with snied smile... big splash sound...)

Thailand...
Siam song 21st century
K Balachandran Oct 2013
And suddenly he finds this--
the season of strange happenings
befall upon him.In Bangkok rains lashed
for three consecutive days without stop.
Huge pythons with strange markings
undulated over waves, that were roads
three days before.A stranger to the town
he feared the fury of river Chao Phraya
but this girl took care of him well,
and when rain paused slightly
she suggested they should eat out.

He left it to her choice, though never knew
much about her, say he was careless.
In that dim-lit restaurant, she said
most unexpected things happen certain days,
and what she said was really true.
She ate  his past wholly, so quick
when no one noticed, it was truly smart an operation.
It tastes exactly like Thai cuisine she told him, as if pleased,
full of aromatic leaves of herbs.

He  just sat like a zombie, would he understand
the meaning of that sabotage, ever?
As she whispered her words in his ears,
he wanted to contradict, tell her about
coconut milk, pepper and condiments
in which his memories of past were marinated,
like his mom's incredible curries
of fish from Kerala coast.
She pretended she didn't hear
all his  memories of spice coast,
she had tactically usurped.
Then a doubt creeped in to his mind
"Is she a banshee, after me?"
She persuaded him to take a stroll
along the bank of Chao Phraya in spate

None would believe him later
his eye witness account of the girl
who ate all his spice land past
jumped in to Chao Phraya turning in to a big fish
and disappeared, never to reappear.
Kerala-The state at the south-west sea board of India, the original spice country, home of black pepper.

I lived on the city streets of Bangkok Thailand for years, I felt right at home I know Bangkok inside out

...from the sukhumvit in nana klong toey to Khoa San road to Klong Thom market in China town to orient circle at night the most incredible high crimson monolith I ever seen to

Chao Phraya river near wat Sam phraya Buddhist temples to samut prakhon to Sam rong imperial world to bang na to on nut Tesco Lotus to

ekami to BTS sky train to Siam center plaza to Phetcheburi road to Pantib Plaza

I would walk for days nonstop with no money no food no room beat up a lot

knifed gang attacks had two switchblade knifes pepper spray wore wigs and barefoot in age old soot many kilometers on foot through the took tooks exhaust at the cost of lusting for Thai girls ***!

a kid in a candy shop Thai baht sniffed out by lovely Thai ****** they know how to thrill steal and **** a man 10,000 years old bold tradition consumes your soul

Sweet **** teenage Asian girls will ******* to ruin. Black and blue dumbfounded man taken down faster than a sandblaster can

Dilapidated old buildings all rusted.
Sidewalks all busted apart chased by dogs Siamese cats all over at night Bangkok is Halloween every night of the year especially in nana near soi 11-5

The era of the diamond Siamese cats that's the price to pay to come to Thailand!

Silom road explodes with colored gemstones and Thai gold chains to dazzle the girls who entertain you at Pat Pong and deploy joy at Soi Cowboy

Hanuman king God of the monkeys flys on your back to attack your backpack Jack

Sultry femme fatale ladyboys exist to emerge nightly sinister moves to take down the forang old man *** clown

Drunk bar man crawls around to eat kitty girls pink underwear so beware fool dog of the danger lurking at every corner don't warn her she already knows you wanna **** on her cute Asian toes

Signs all over read ... We love our king
He resembles Michael Jackson with a cowboy hat, and gold military jackets

I was in very good health from eating fruits water pad Thai pla mook fish and sangsom and Chang
I could speak basic Thai

Bumrungrad hospital on soi 1 - 3
Is the top rated in se Asia

I was tested as age 18 healthwise

I was not surprised

The environment is superb to health

Nice Thai people nice asian **** slutty girls to hang out with and more so much more
Age notwithstanding

Thailand is indeed...

A whole other world
Krong Thep, Siam became Bangkok in 1769...

I dug my own grave
Bloodstains on my shirt, wounds on my face—
Yet, I clawed my way out alive.
I want to run, to disappear,
But I can’t help it—I need saving.

I plead for revenge,
Justice is what I seek,
Sanity rejects me,
No wonder this pain burns deeper than a third-degree wound.

They call this heaven compared to where I came from—
No, you’re wrong. I’ll prove you wrong.
This is hell compared to what you did to me.

No matter how much perfume you drown yourself in,
Your rotten soul reeks—exposing your lies.
Hypocrite. Insolent *****.
When will you ever learn?
You carry your own cross,
Yet you crucify everyone else.

What you show is just a mask,
A bitter facade wrapped in silk.
Your kiss—nothing but a sweetened lie.
I remember your voice,
That same chilling thrill to ****—
But no, you weren’t worth the bullet.

I traded good bread for unforgettable scars,
Spilled too many tears for a drunken past.

From the Chao Phraya to the London Bridge,
I vanished without a goodbye.
Yet, you chased me—like I was the predator.

I found solace in an abandoned place,
More shelter than a mansion ever was.
Locking eyes with my enemy,
I’d **** for that moment—
When the time is right.

Turned the yard into my office,
Planted trees to cloak my schemes.
Now we stand face to face—
I am that same woman,
Born twice.

Black and red can end well—
Like smoke in the rain.
Bodies six feet under make the finest fertilizer.

I was never the one to start trouble,
But a feisty ***** sure loves to talk.
Face to face,
I don’t flinch—
You do.

I lived with what I had,
You built your empire off the backs of others.

I wasted years for fleeting moments,
Only to break free from the chains of your embrace.
A silent witness—trapped in your office,
Waiting for the next thrill.

Snuck in when the world was asleep,
Found comfort in a bottle of pills—
The only thing worth dying for.

But that green gown you wear suits you well,
Wrapped in the very venom you spew.

Poison now flows through your veins,
Vomiting blood—feels like déjà vu, doesn’t it?
Look at me.
Look at what you did.

Shattered glass in expired red wine,
Burned identities, buried pasts.
****** is an underrated art—
And my patience has run thin.
A poem of warning

— The End —
