Old Shanghai
S.K.H. Kei Oi Primary School, Kwok, Riley - 7
Oh! Oxen bellowing!
Long fizzing fireworks!
Dear doors groaning.
Sizzling noodles,
Happy cats purring,
All soya milk pouring,
Nice noodles sizzling!
Grent pattering! Rain!
‘Hi !’ murmuring aunties
Angry birds,
Ice cream blue,
In lovely old Shanghai.
