Chinese Calendar Cycle of Animals

Chinese calendar, cycle twelve fine years
An animal assigned to each one without any fears
Ox, tiger, dragon, monkey, rooster and pig….
Each with their own personalities and traits so big.

I am a hare, he is a horse, and she is a snake.
Rat, sheep, and dog have arrived, make no mistake.
Astrologists study the traits and relay them back of course.
I am glad I am a dragon, and not a rat or a horse.
