What Red Stars Foretell

Jack Ma once what a force, now all spent, Pony Ma of Tencent on ascent. In china, asked to bend, They fall flat than defend, Demanded when, pay up red-star rent, In public never rant Ever be obedient, Know, Red Stars never care for their cants! _____________________________________ Happenings |22.12.2022| Limerick, humour Poet’s note: A limerick a bit extended. Behind the great firewall of China there seems to exist a parallel universe: Baidu, not Google; Weibo in place of Tweeter; Alibaba instead of Amazon or eBay…. WeChat of Tencent is an ‘everything’ app there. If Jack Ma of Alibaba is a spent force, Pony Ma of Tencent is a rising star getting to be a red giant, red in more sense than one.
