Prayut pens new poem to cheer farmers

By THE SUNDAY NATION

 

 

“YOU ARE strong, tolerant, and have high integrity worth respecting.” These are the words Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has used to cheer up farmers in the latest poem he has penned.

 

The poem urged farmers to not lose their morale or leave their homes. The government has been trying to solve their problems with its Pracha Rat (people’s state) policy and trusted that this was the way to get them out of trouble, the poem says.

 

The government would hurry to solve these issues as soon as possible, the “Farmers’ Soul Soothing Poem” reads.

 

PM Prayut penned his previous poem for the Cabinet just last week, aiming to boost their morale by encouraging them to remain focused and work tirelessly for the people.

 

The poem urged them not to give up if they encountered struggles along the way when working for the people, and to use their wisdom instead to overcome problems.

 

“Be focused and correct things, one after another. People’s happiness is in our hands,” read the final lines of his morale-boosting verse.

 

The poem – titled “Morale for you, the Cabinet” – was the third of three recently written by the PM. He continued writing despite the fact that he had earlier said he would “rather keep his mouth shut” after his previous poems sparked a brief verbal tussle among established poets. The poets were split over the PM’s verse, and some appended new stanzas to his efforts.

Poet Lorry yet

[poohy]

My heart is pounding at the mere thought of another witty meaningful ode!

I am sure the farmers are completely overjoyed

“You are strong, tolerant, and have high integrity worth respecting” 

 

How can you use a word like integrity and have absolutely no idea what it means.

Does Thailand have a Poet Laureate? 

 

No, I suppose not...

[Ivor Edwards]

A poem a week? Got to be a sign of desperation. Perhaps he doesn't know what else to do.

 

Gimme 10 minutes, I'll come up with a couple of suggestions as to what I think he should do...

 

Clown.

What a witty ditty!  Now what rhymes with 'submarine'?

[ChrisY1]

Eccentric!

[rkidlad]

Nice to know he thinks that 'farmers with high integrity' are worth respecting. 

 

Maybe if the farmers work a little harder and complain a lot less they'll go from being 'worthy of respect' to actually being 'respected'.

Wait for the next stunts when he walks on water, turns it to wine, recorded with the Stones, converts the Pope to Buddhism, and predicts lottery numbers.

I think I'd settle for him making sense sometimes. Or just not igniting my homicidal feelings...

[colinneil]

Pity he has not got more important things to occupy his time, than spouting nonsense.

[ezzra]

Fiddling while Rome burns... here we have a PM serenading and regaling  farmers

with words, last time i looked, words were much cheaper to give than real help...

[Reigntax]

It starts "on the good ship venus, geez you should have seen us"

I was walking in the fields one day

wondering about my pay

when i had a sudden vision

I'd become a politician

and everyone could pay my way

[RichardColeman]

Hope there's a paragraph in it telling the farmers what a boost in trade they will get from submarines and railways and tower blocks in a sinking city.

There holes in the sky where the rain gets in,

but there everso small that's why the rain is thin

 

(Spike Milligan) 

 

there once was a bard from japan

who wrote verses that no one could scan

when told it was so

he replied "Yes, I know..

but I try to get as many words on the last line as possibly can"

 

 

there was a young man from tralee

who was stung on the neck by a wasp

when asked "Did it hurt?"

he replied "Not a bit

he can do it again if he likes" 

 

oh Hilaire Bellock was a cracking artist.......

Maybe he can come and give the farmers in our village a personal reading as I'm sure they'll give him their thanks especially as the local canal has remained dry for nearly a year now.

[ben2talk]

Prayut is personally responsible for the rising floods and water levels; every time he makes announcements 60 million people pi55 themselves laughing.
