Chinatown, The Rat Is Coming
1
The thunder of drums,
clashing cymbals, beating gongs,
New Year good fortune.
Through the narrow crowded streets
lion dancers are prancing.
2
See, young girls dancing,
Multi-coloured finery
swirling as they move,
forming patterns, dazzling
streetwise choreography.
3
A firecracker fusillade
shattering the afternoon.
Birds wheel in panic.
Deafened by the wonderful din,
the crowd is utterly stunned

I passed by the window, and marked with one eye,
How the owl and the panther were sharing a pie.
The panther took pie crust, gravy and meat,
While the owl took the dish as his share of the treat.
