Old Shanghai
S.K.H. Kei Oi Primary School, Li, Amy - 7
Old oxen bellowing,
Long sizzling noodles,
Dear doors groaning.
Shh? Bells chiming,
Happy birds squawking,
Apple dumplings amazing,
No cats purring?
Great fireworks fizzing!
Hungry? Noodles feasting.
Are clocks going tick tock?
Idea-Yes! Let’s cook! Pots clank!
