Malaynesia Or



'nesia' means 'islands',
so if peninsula Malaya,
a bit of Borneo
and minuscule islands
had called their bond Malaynesia,
the bond of big islands beside and below
might have named Malaynesia Conceited or Sombong,
or Pura-Pura or Pretence,
or Rubber or Kerat or Stretch
or Elastisio;
or, to make ten, Busun Panjang
or Long Bow.
