A doggerel series
about the countries of the world.
Singapore.
A place that seems as if it were
Once named for many
reasons—more:
Its name has got a rhythmic
purr—
I love that name, that
“Singapore.”
It’s in Malaysia—there’s a word
I love to see in print—or hear.
As if a song from some sweet
bird—
The word is perfect—very clear.
But Singapore! (Let’s not
forget!)
Its largest island is the core—
But there are others—oh you bet—
A cluster is this Singapore.
And banking there and commerce
are
The biggest ways they make their
way—
But other lights are in their
star.
It costs to live there, day by day.
A lot of bats fly through the
night—
And snakes slide on the forest
floor.
So watch yourself—be very
bright!—
If you go visit Singapore!
