G
Harmful elements in the air
F
symbols clashing everywhere
G
Reaps the fields of rice and reeds
F
while the population feeds
G
Junk floats on polluted water
F
an old custom to sell your daughter
G
Would you like number 23?
F
Leave your yens on the counter please

Hong Kong Garden

Tourists swarm to see your face
Confuscius has a puzzling grace
Disoriented you enter in
unleashing scent of wild jasmine

Slanted eyes meet a new sunrise
a race of bodies small in size
Chicken Chow Mein and Chop Suey
Hong Kong Garden takeaway
