Canto the Third
Verging on the Daft
I
Of all the gogos, Jim liked D _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ best
Because the girls in there were sweet and fresh.
And even more, tonight, he was impressed
Because the girls were flashing naked flesh.
One caught his eye, demurer than the rest;
Just watching her brought him out in gooseflesh.
He waved to her but couldn’t catch her eye.
How very strange! He asked a waitress why.
II
She brought the mamasan - a wily crone
Who wouldn’t answer honestly his urging,
But chewed at it, like a dog with a bone,
Until at last seeing Jim’s frustration surging,
Conspiratorially, she made it known,
The girl was just eighteen and still a virgin.
Now Jim was interested to hear that,
Though shocked to hear the price: 10,000 baht!
III
Jim’s former wife already had a child
When they got married, and he’d never had
A virgin in his life, so he beguiled
Himself with fantasies of her unclad,
And teaching her the tricks that drove him wild.
He never thought ’twas acting like a cad.
And so he closed the deal with eager glee
And moments later she was on his knee.
IV
“What is your name?” he cooed into her ear.
“Mai kao jai,” was her mystified reply.
“My name is Jim,” he said, trying to be clear.
“Di chan cheu Nut ka,” she said with a sigh.
“Chan mai poot paasaa Angrit ka.” Oh dear!
It seemed she spoke no English, that was why.
A virgin of the body he could dandle,
But of English - oh, that would be hard to handle!
V
In the event the body side proved tougher.
She spread her legs, he pushed and, “Jep!” she cried.
He pushed again, though fearing to get rougher,
And “Jep!” she cried again and groaned and sighed,
And poor old Jim was feeling like a duffer:
He tried his best, but couldn’t get inside.
At last he gave it up, his lust receding,
While she gave way to tears, hurt, sore and bleeding.
VI
Jim felt self-pity. Thought, “I’ve been a rat.
The only feelings I thought of were mine.
Losing her cherry hurts - I’ve found out that
It’s only later on that sex feels fine.
So was it worth spending 10,000 baht
To hurt a girl just like a callous swine?”
And then he felt, seeing her tear-stained features,
Compassion for this most vulnerable of creatures.
VII
He said, next morning (with a phrase book’s aid),
“Korp kun krap,” in an English-sounding Thai,
And gave her a big tip - so much she’d made,
She thanked him with a big smile and a wai.
Seeing her go, he felt somewhat dismayed,
And tears spilled over as he said goodbye.
He cared not that he was 12,000 lighter,
But only hoped his largesse would delight her.
VIII
Telling the tale that night of her surrender,
He was surprised when his companion laughed:
“Oh yes, the bargirls welcome a big spender!
One girl - 12,000 baht - you must be daft!”
“Not just a girl - a virgin, sweet and tender!”
“You’re just a victim of her cunning craft!
I know that girl and her “virginity”;
She’s sold it many times - the first was me!”
