When I was on the boat,
It was very strong and sturdy,
Very pretty and fancy,
And I didn’t see any enemy,
So I started to relax.
But then,
KABOOM!BOOM!ZBOOM!
Is that an axe?
My spear was scared out of my hand
And I fell to the ground.
“Hey” I started,
But then,
KABOOM!
Another shot!
Who is that?
Whoever it is,
He’s definitely not very nice, somewhat!
But why would he do that?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
He’s probably just an enemy,
And he’s probably trying to get into our ship!
SoI quietly took out my whip.
So...
He thinks that he’s going to win?
Definitely not!
So I and my crewmen got to work,
And protected our shop,
Quickly set off to China,
To Beijing and Shenzhen,
To invade the other cities.
Take the goods from men.
To get the treasure,
To show how good China was,
So I and my crew searched high and low,
Until we found something shiny,
We took out our arrow and bow.
But when we opened the chest,
It was just a shining light,
So I and my crew gave up hope,
To search left and right.
But we still felt something hard under the soil,
So our hope came back again,
We had to just dig harder,
Cause’ then we would go home with a gain!
We kept on digging,
Until our muscles ached with pain,
And our feet could not stand,
And our backs could no longer bend.
