New Journeys to the West
Singapore International School (HK), Cao, Jia Min - 8
A gust of wind
A heavy rain
Monkey King, Monk pig,
Tang Priest, Friar Sand
got blown into my house
Chocolate, chips,
Coffee, coke
All got eaten by Monk pig
Until he got a nose bleed
He said it was poison
Cars, buses,
ships, planes
were all moving monsters to them
pretty girls with
red, blue
green, brown hair
and blue, green, brown eyes
are lady monsters to Monk pig
Ha! Ha!
I told them that
This was the modern Hong Kong
The beautiful Hong Kong
The international Hong Kong
They liked Hong Kong
but
Tang Priest said that
They needed to go to India
to take the Buddhist scriptures
Tang dynasty
Chang’an
That’s their home
Buddhist scriptures will let
Tang dynasty become more prosperous
Cloud summersault
took them out of Hong Kong
Hong Kong
welcomes you back
Hong Kong
welcomes you back
I love
Hong Kong!
