The New Tales of Old Shanghai
Discovery Mind Primary School, Eduardo, Luiz - 10
The New Tales of Old Shanghai,
Was a place that was very dry,
When people played Chinese chess,
They would wear a traditional dress
With towers as tall as mountains,
And many fancy fountains,
With streets as dirty as dumps,
And lots of smelly gunk
The shiny lights from lanterns,
And lots and lots of patterns,
The Dim Sum is tasty,
And the air polluted and hazy.
Tales of The Past
Discovery Mind Primary School, Forster, Alex - 9
The incense was burning,
And the kids were learning,
Skies were guarding the sun,
While having lots of fun,
Famous building are delicate jewels,
And people going to shanghai school,
Bikes bells were ringing,
Wind whistles around and around,
The buildings were trying to reach the stars,
While the busy roads was full of cars,
The water was trying to escape the ocean,
Different people had curious emotions,
The bikes jog to go to the temple
Fish was getting sold at mini stores,
Trees were guarding shade,
And that is Shanghai.
