Return to GBB for the
Chinese New Year
We went to Gardens by
the Bay again
Since Chinese New
Year had come around
We found horses
everywhere
That made not a sound
They were made of
wood
And galloped across
imaginary plains
Silent, purposeful
but still
Even if you laid to
them a cane
Then there was the
flower dome
Alas where was its
former glory?
Instead of flowers
was a sea of green
Repentance for their Christmas
folly
But the new
playground is fun
With water hoses and
all
But I am much too old
For the games that I
saw
So you could
certainly say
My excitement has
dimmed a bit
Especially when the
flower dome
Has more green than
flowers in it!
But they still made
me laugh
Because don’t you
see?
Judging from the ears
Some of the horses
were donkeys
