Real Chinese beauty
Lies in skin and long legs
Plus pair short bootie.
Love at first sight ,hiding secret desires late into the night .....
love is allowed , why aren't you wearing a crown.....
Tell me why, why you don't stick around.....
instead of feelin' pain, tryin' not to complain.....
Lettin' time drift by, sittin' out in the rain.....
with no one to tell ,of five silver bells ,ringing through the night .....
It's love at first sight , my green eyed long legged delight

Zoetic Long-Legged Birds
A crane flew down and stood still on its stilts,
their necks straighten in flights,
a heron too would stand in silts,
of lakes or bights.
Heron's neck forms an "S" shape when they fly,
functions like some egrets,
beak's long versus shorten ally,
character sets.
The contrasts between herons and egrets,
are plumage and their hues,
cranes only eat plants--they're dead set,
holds distinct views.

Long-legged ruminant
So, you think a camel is an ugly animal
with kissable lips and the eyes of
Marilyn Monroe, and yield low-fat milk
I bet you didn’t know this.
When four wheels stop in the sand of Sahara
the camel with padded feet trudges along
The beast smelled like hell, but who cares
when it brings to an oasis.
Sweet dates, cold water and languor under
palm trees, a dream come true
It was the trusted camel who found the way.
Have you ever tasted camel cheese?
Here she lies to take her rest
Unconventionally and vertically
Iolanda, daughter of George,
Five foot ten since age of twelve
If you see a bump with daisies
Her skull keeps on popping out
for Andrea's contest
The mountains loom ahead
And shake me to my core
My body is so tired
My spirit weak and sore
Do you hear me call?
I rage into the night
No rest for the weary
I doze at morning light
I want to roll that boulder
Up the hill once more
I'm all tussled and tugged
From those dreams that I tore
I really need your strength
For my legs cannot budge
I'd go a little faster
But I'm treading through sludge
Lead me back to the path
Through the briar and the thicket
Does my journey continue?
Then guess I'll buy a ticket
