Old Shanghai
Discovery Mind Primary School, Desai, Manav – 9
The city stands far in China
Busy people and reckless gondolas
The streets are filled with joys
The wild monkeys act like boys.
The skies are blue
And the city is crowded
The people are nice
And there are some mice.
The buildings dance in the sun
The press don’t think always
But there is so much crime
So the financial heads find a prime.
This is the city of Old Shanghai.
