Here lies Mary
Besides her Larry
Both had a story
But no one knows their history.

Mary loves Larry
And Larry loves Mary.
Both wanted to marry
Though they had no money.

Mary had a Baby
Who had a belly.
It ate only strawberries
And drank only coffee.

What with no money
And such a funny Baby.
Mary was sulky
And Larry grew angry.

One day in the year 1980.
They carried the funny Baby.
Up to the 30th storey
And jumped down happily.

And so here lies Mary
Besides her Larry
With their funny Baby,
They'll go down in history.


Cynthia Ng 1977

Shylock's cry for a pound of flesh, He finally did receive. With ribs and all, he got it all, How deep the family grieved Li Li, you're the star In time, in space, from near from far, We see your light, We see your grief. Again Shylock came, and yet again, Again, you went through all the pa...

Cry, Hiroshima Cry

  Since time immemorial, man has fought War after war, so man could not Live in peace the world over Sharing sun and rain together *Cry, Hiroshima, cry If only the world would try, The best way of an enemy rid Is to befriend him a little bit. On a fateful day in 'forty-five A-bomb was dropped that took many lives Causing destruction wide and deep Even now do people weep. *Refrain Admidst the war, a city thrived People living out a peaceful life One moment was clear, the next was smoke Over the city an A-bomb did explode. *Refrain The world rejoiced, a nation grieved As news of Hiroshima was received. A weapon now was at hand That could totally destroy a land. *Refrain In just a few more days, Another city was laid to waste. The A-bomb too did it taste The unlucky city of Nagasaki. ~Cry, Nagasaki, cry If only the world would try The best way of an enemy rid Is to befriend him a little bit.
