The Chinese New Year

Are you ready for a brand new year The spring festival coming So let’s all cheer The lunar calendar starts again It’s time to clean the cobwebs my friend Gifts of red envelope’s everywhere This is the Chinese New Year The year of the sheep The ram, the goat Bring your fire crackers to make the most Don’t forget those tangerines They symbolize good luck and prosperity You could bring some lovely oranges too For friends and relations Waiting for you Now the fruit is their beloved gift But wearing red, is that just a myth Whatever you do Do not wear black It resembles death and we don’t like that Pineapple lanterns in every colour They look so sweet Hanging in the summer This also stands for prosperity The mandarins are so very keen The mother of pearl Will bring you good fortune You’re live in abundance With the well of the fish And eat every good portion with that dish Now don’t forget your spring cleaning But beware of that broom After all it’s cheating Bring in the new and out with the old So this New Year could bring you gold Last but not least, let your child lay So you can fulfil your ripe old age The longer they sleep The more time for you Add on the years restoring your youth Gong Hei Fard Choy everybody © Copyright KC.
