The Shades of South East Asia



The Brown , White and Yellow : a most enigmatic mix,
All duly renown for their schemes, ploys and tricks;
Some given to Great Industry, others taken with Sloth,
Great Hearts of Compassion, or Souls alike Ragged Cloth.

The Felon, the Vagrant, the Supplicant Nun,
The Tuan, the Proud Bishop, the Colonial Son;
The Philandering Husbands, the Perfidious Wives,
Shall harbour some Secret during their Mortal Lives.

A keen eye to their Progeny,
Those adust Sons and Daughters,
Each claims an abode in these far Asian quarters.
