New Year's Here




Around the potholes and past dukduks
To Wat Ban Rai we go.
Whole family in truck, odometer stuck
AC is running low, oh!

Around the potholes and past dukduks
We putt ‘round the countryside.
We hope our insides, survive the drive
As rough is the road we ride!

Around the potholes and past dukduks
To see of the building lore,
An elephant large, with snakes in charge,
Leave us wondering what’s in store!
Around the potholes and past dukduks,
To pray, and hope, and learn.
Ancestors in urns, gods at each turn,
With Lam, Pigoon, Plum, and Pern!

Around the potholes and past dukduks,
Our fortunes we will seek.
The number leaks, curiosity peaks,
As it foretells coming weeks.

Around the potholes and past dukduks,
At dusk we venture home.
We’re well impressed, and feeling blessed.
As 'cross rough roads we roam!
