TOGETHER AGAIN


HAIKU BONES
นอน (NORN) – SLEEP

นอนหลีบตาซะลูก
แล้วเจ้าจะฝันดีมากมาก
ฝันเจ้าจะเป็นจริง


Norn, lab tar sa look
Laew jao ja fan dee mark mark
Fan jao ja pen ching

Close your eyes child, sleep
Immerse yourself in sweet dreams
May they all come true

AMERICAN SENTENCE (Sounds Familiar)


Adam Sandler stars in BEDTIME STORIES, playing a guy named SKEETER.


AMERICAN STATEMENT

Sanath scored a twenty-twenty half-century in SEVENTEEN balls.


AMERICAN STOP-PRESS

Now Satcin Tendulkar goes and scores a one-day double century.


AMERICAN SANDWICH

Dennis the Dosser played in a punk rock band in the late seventies.
Years later, he studied music and changed his name back to Denzel Dobbs.
Sir Denzel now conducts symphony orchestras all around the world.


NANO AMERICO^

It started with a kiss.
In front of the whole class, she felt embarrassed and slapped him on the face.
It ended in tears.


WALLS + WIRES

Excuses won’t be accepted for failing to get it right first time.
No second chances.
‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again’, is not appropriate.


‘FOUND’ AMERICAN SENTENCE

‘It’s always raining over the border; there’s been a plane crash out there.’
From the song FEED THE ENEMY by MAGAZINE.
From the album SECOND HAND DAYLIGHT.


FUTURE PROOF


Last week I suggested the following American Sentence:

'We blamed it on inclement weather and intimidating terrain'.


And came up with the following American Sandwich:

The return journey to Base Camp was beset by hazardous delays.
We blamed it on inclement weather and intimidating terrain.
We will have to be better prepared for our attempt on Everest.


AMERICAN ALIAS

Western Movie star John Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison.


AMERICAN MANHOOD

It’s an American Fact.
John Wayne thought ‘Marion Morrison’ was too sissy for a cowboy.
How American is that?


AMERICAN REVELATION

SHANGHAI NOON and SHANGHAI KNIGHTS tell us that the real John Wayne was Chinese.
NOT ONLY that; Chinese John Wayne was knighted by Queen Victoria.
BUT ALSO Chinese CHON WANG was a character played by Jackie Chan.


AMERICAN REMINDER

I told you I like comments that begin with ‘NOT ONLY’, ‘BUT ALSO’.

  4. Beautiful words my friend. To see all the words in those closed eyes. To try and imagine what lovely dreams they dreams.
