Baixiong

BAIXIONG There was an empress in a 19th century land Who ruled with a fair but iron hand A small white dog was ever by her side In times of fear under her skirts he would hide Dogs not allowed in the Forbidden City So they took him and strangled him --a great pity From that day forward she was hard as a nail And made sure the guilty on nails were impaled Her vengeance was sated but there was yet something to do And for that time it was a remarkable breakthrough Dogs no longer forbidden in that place As long as she lived that was to be the case She told them she wouldn't tolerate such wrong All for the memory of her one friend Baixiong
