Singapore! Poem by Denis Martindale

I've never been to Singapore!
They say it's wondrous there,
The place to thrill you to the core,
The place beyond compare!
With sights and sounds that never bore,
Vivacious, full of flair,
Such that you'll want to stay for sure
And never roam elsewhere!

I've never been to Singapore!
My word, it sounds a treat,
A brand new world through every door
And such cuisine to eat!
Perchance to find some paramour,
With kisses oh so sweet,
No wonder, that folks go on tour,
With oh so happy feet!

I've never been to Singapore!
Exciting beyond doubt
And yet what am I waiting for,
At home, to pause and pout?
It seems the place that I'd adore,
That's why I scream and shout,
You see, one truth I can't ignore...
My passport's just run out!
