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
