The Journey to the West
Maryknoll Convent School (Secondary Section), Chu, Webbe - 14
There once was a monkey fit to be a king
and in his possession were millions of things
But he was detained.
Pigsy did something uncanny
and was banished to the mortal world
as he was greedy
Friar Sand was made to look like a monster
and these three had something to conquer
to accompany Xuanzang
to obtain the Buddhist sacred text
Our foursome has many hurdles along the way
what do they face I hear you say
Demons spirits and a dodgy rabbit
But our heroes succeed
and gain Buddhahood
or should I say brotherhood
