I can write a HA poem if you want. I do rhyming poems quite well and have written them for girls. It only takes a while to put one together. Let's have a try at it.

Why I'm Happier Abroad
By Winston Wu

Let me tell you why I'm happier abroad.
Firstly, there are better broads.
So I can have many pretty dates,
And drink it up with my mates.
With a much better dating life,
I can find a better wife.
With more and better dating,
Comes more and better mating.

The process of making friends,
Is a fun endeavor without end.
With a better social life,
I can meet people without strife.
People will talk to strangers,
Even if I am a mere lone ranger.

When abroad I can be myself,
Even if I look like a strange elf.
Thus I have wholesome mental health,
In addition to the increased social wealth.

Food abroad is more natural and healthy,
And affordable to those who aren't wealthy.
Thus I can lose more weight,
And lose my self-hate.
With a lower cost of living,
I need not be starving.

Many lands abroad have richer cultures,
Whereas my land has mere vultures.
Overseas people have more authenticity,
Amidst their social and cultural activity.

These are the reasons I'm happier abroad,
Right beside my lovely broads.

What do you all think? lol

Nice work, Winston!

Reminds me of this little gem me & droid came up with:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=26512&p=221164&hili ... se#p221164

♪♫ ♪♫♪♫ ♪♫
Give me a bottle of Red Horse extra strong,
And a cosy place out in the sun
Add a young Filipina, can't go wrong,
Now you're ready for some Filipino fun!

Drink with priests, Lolos, fishermen,
Party all night on the beach with some local ladies
And this my friend is surely when,
You realize happiness doesn't require a fat wallet and a Mercedes!

You can live like a slave for all your life,
Spend your finest years with a fat, nagging wife

Or you can enjoy a man's life in the East,
where a man gets to be a man,
where women act as women should at least

Or you can enjoy a man's life in the East,
Unleash at last your inner beast,
where the grass is always greener,
the beer colder and the weather warmer
Compared to before your whole life is now a feast!

That was a good poem Winston. Here is a photo of you as an elf.
