Loke Kok yee Poems

Hidden at the foot of a mountain range high,
Amid primeval jungle an enchanted lake lies.
A couple of hours walking at least it'll take,
Besieged by leeches and at times a snake.
...

An old rubbish bin lies close behind the school canteen,
The cover is rather badly bent and all the flies can get in.
Just beside an old monsoon drain overgrown with weeds,
With pools of stagnant water where mosquitoes do breed.
...

This great fisherman was fishing off the shore
Without a stitch on, not e'en a shoe he wore
Then a hungry fish came by
Took a big bite on the sly
...

When the clouds arrived it didn't rain but it poured,
With dozers and chainsaws they relentlessly tore.
The foothills and lakeside was razed to the ground,
In a very short time nothing much was left around.
...

This great hunter was out to shoot a boar
Brimming with confidence and much too bold
His gun he did discharge
The boar kept up the charge
...

This great hunter was out hunting in a truck
Hoping to shoot a rhino with a bit of luck
The rhino charged from the back
There was no way he could backtrack
...

This great hunter was out for big game
An elephant to kill to make himself a name
As soon as the hunt began
He lost his nerve and ran
...

This great hunter was out to prove he was a hero
Went hunting for that nasty beast called a hippo
He took a wrong turn
The hippo wrath he earned
...

This great hunter was out shooting pheasants
But pheasant shooting was not yet in season
The laws he cared naught
Rightly he was caught
...
