Zheng He
Korean International School, Sze, Sophie - 10
There out on the ocean,
With a lot of commotion
With sailors of many,
Way more than twenty
Zheng He sailed,
Plus he never ever failed,
He was as strong as an ox,
And as quick as a fox,
He was as big as a house,
But he didn’t know how to joust,
Splash!
Crash!
Waves tumbled onto the ship,
Sailors could taste the water with their lips,
They brought back treasures of all kind,
Everything they could find,
He was once a slave,
Yet he was very brave.
