The New Tales Of The Gobi Desert
The Story of lizards
S.K.H. Fung Kei Primary School, Kwok Yee Lam, Poetry: Group 2
Once in an very ancient time,
When everything seem to rhyme,
The Gobi Desert was the place to go,
If you wanted to find a wondorous kind.
As you can see it’s full of sand.
But have you ever wondered, how the sand got
to this ice-cold land?
This place was filled with lizards called salamanders
who were the lowly desertlanders.
The king of this tribe
(Who is still alive)
cunning he was,
and was king for good cause!
One day, the loyal subjects told him,
“The weather is bad you have to scold it!”
The king, a magic staff he had,
never made his subjects sad.
They told him, “The weather is too hot,
as hot as corn that can pop.”
He turned the weather really cold
for peasents together young and old.
“It is still too hot’!” and lo and behold
The king went to a place, hot that is,
and changed the weather, like a wiz.
The lizards all fell
into an endless sleep and turned to ashes
in their sleep so deep.
And now dear reader, the message is clear
What you already have is something to hold dear.
Or the end of the salamanders draws ever so near!
