There was a beautiful
Fairy name Ming
Who somehow
Lost one wing
But then she starts
To sing
Until she heard
A bling
Ming somehow had
Grew back her wing
Around his height
Bigger he is
Sweeter he be.
A superstitious belief on black cats
is rebutted by my old black pet, Ming
She saved my life when I was still a kid
while seated on the grass near bamboo slats
where a small brown snake beneath was lurking
then slid.
By my side was brave Ming, facing the fight
Dad saw it… smart enough to get a lid
with stick that ended up to snake-hunting!
Then I hugged my saver Ming cheering, “Alright,
we did!”
