Kapunkah Lyrics by Marian McLaughlin

Spirit House

0

Eating mangoes by the mangroves
We dipped our toes into the Andaman sea
There was so much for both of us to see
But we were rendered lazy by the heat
Like a water buffalo
Lying in a puddle of repose
Onward to our bungalows
We noticed that below our bed
There was a black and red spider
She made her web and built her nest
But I didn't really mind her
For she was not dangerous
She's just our neighbor
She's not poisonous
Just an acquaintance
But remember that King Cobra does exist
On this island
So when you're walking through the brush
And hear something you do not trust
Do the cobra step, do the cobra step
Do the cobra step, do the cobra step
High foot, high knees
Thank you for not biting me
That's the cobra step
Eating mangoes by the main road
With sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves
They sold them just for 20 Baht a piece
So I bought three, a filling snack
A little feast
And with 20 Baht I got a coconut
Cracked the top and drank it all right up
With a straw on the beach
High applause I was pleased
And every house in the south
Had a rambunctious kitten
Or an anxious chicken
And every porch in the north
Sported an orange chow
And the most beautiful sound
Amongst all sounds that I heard
More enthralling than the calling
From the local birds
More curious than the yells
That rose from the vendors
In the crowds
Was the sound of the cows' bells
‘round their necks
As their heads were bending
As they bowed
To graze on the maze of grass along
The path in the back of where we stayed
Five minutes away from the cave
