Zheng He
Korean International School, Ikuta, Hirotaka - 11
He sailed around the world with ships full of gold
Big and mighty, his name was Zheng He
He went around the sea with his sailors on his ship.
All the ships looked like dolphins,
Everybody worshiped him like a god.
For the Ming dynasty, he sailed around the world.
Zheng He
Korean International School, Jeong, Seoyun - 10
Zheng He, he was as brave as a lion!
Zheng He, he was as calm as an elephant!
Zheng He, the waves were bullying his ships!
Zheng He, tricky treasure he was trying to find!
Zheng He, the emperor was a million miles away!
Zheng He, Splash! As a step on the water he takes!
Zheng He, going in a boat is a piece of cake!
Goodbye World
Korean International School, Joo, Stanley - 10
Zheng He the Wise
Zheng He the Brave
I have earned many names over the years
I have sailed the Ocean Blue
I have defeated the Pirates
I am worshipped like an almighty God
I have met many kings and queens
I want to see more of the World
But for now I’m afraid I need to go
Zheng He
Korean International School, Lai, Alexis - 11
Splish, splash, clash!
The pirates were taken down
The fire of honour never bowed down
Brave, strong, fierce
That’s what you must be
Like the hero, who saved so many
His name was Zheng He
He did it for honour
Even though going on was getting
Harder and harder
He still managed to be smarter
And be the impossible
It seemed he was unstoppable.
