Brunei Girl
She said she wanted to celebrate her eighteenth birthday
At the Beverly Hills Hotel
Her younger brother Aptos
Chirped that this venerated institution
Owned by the illustrious Sultan of Brunei,
Not a nice man by many accounts,
Was not a nice choice
The Sultan, real name Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin,
Meaning ‘abode of peace’,
Had recently declared that all peacable Bruneians
Who were gay would be stoned to death
And sinning adulterers
Sneaking about the Brunei night
Feral alley cats they are, wouldn’t fare much better
Fatal stones apparently in vast supply in Brunei…
plentiful as girl sex slaves
I suggested a more pacifist destination
Joe’s Diner downtown which fell flat as an american pancake
on a grease pit grill
