Ode to Wheels Delia School of Canada, Kim, Sanghoon - 14 An old man loaded a rust bicycle with slik Rolling the wheel down the street of Shanghai Passing the trick of mah-jong bilk The wheels never stopped going round The parents were looking at their son doing taichi Rolling and rolling With glowing smile Passing the light of the city A father of a girl was itchy his hand to the bellboy Arrives at the building and waves Feeling blue and grey Finally the wheels sighs with relief Rolling and Rolling are looking at a beautiful skyscraper The tourists Passing the old British cathedral In awe Arrived at the dock and put his loads down flowing beside her The lazy river is Finally the wheels enjoyed the song of a seagull Feeling sorry for the loss of the green A mogul rides a fancy car with champagne Driving the car down the street of Shanghai Thinking about benefits he can obtain The wheels never stopped going around
