Mrs Choo greets Mrs Woo,
Mrs Woo picks up little baby blue
And shakes the hand of Mr Hu
And his wife Li Yan
Oh Li Yan is working on the cruise ship
Docked outside Wuhan
We're on our way over there,
They will sail to Japan
And then the Philippines
Many international traveller man
But first they want to see China's mainland

COVID 4 -The Thousand hand shakes of Mrs Choo
I like to write poetry and perform it at poetry nights. I've been writing some form of it since school years.
COVID 3 -Hagglin' for a Pangolin
Mrs Choo - I'll have one of your lovely Pangolins please
Mr Wan - Anything you like darling, how about this one here?
Mrs Choo - Oh no he looks a bit thin, look at his nose
Its dripping at the end, haven't you got another one? What about his friend
Mr Wan - No can do Mrs Choo that ones promised to Mr Chan
Mrs Choo - Oh Kung Fu to you too, and Chop suey onion
Alright I'll take him, pass over me Pangolin
Mr Wan - That ones a nice one, shall I bleed him right here?
Mrs Choo - Yes, yes no use in standing around hagglin'
Mr Wan - 40 dollars for the service and I'll even throw in a nice fruit bat, its been stragglin'
Mrs Choo - Sure why not its gonna make my family's dinner
I can't have my husband and son getting thinner
Mr Wan - That's right Mrs Choo, you don't know what's around the corner do you
Mrs Choo - Not these days Mr Wan, not these days, do you...
Mr Wan - Anything you like darling, how about this one here?
Mrs Choo - Oh no he looks a bit thin, look at his nose

COVID 2 Live animal collection team Wuhan Market
Hey look friend another one of those dopey Pangolins
Come on pick him up, stick him in the back of the truck too
He'll still make someone a nice Pangolin stew
On the markets of Wuhan
Boss - what about the berries -you pick 'em you carry 'em too Terry
In the bustling streets of Wuhan:
Man its hot here, I hardly move for people-
Hey where do you want these crates of Pangolin?
Just stack them up over there next to the snakes
And the lizards, mind don't make mistakes
Wuhan, Wuhan, they're selling everything here
From live bats in cages to tigers from stones ages
Anything to increase your life span
Wuhan, Wuhan in the markets of Wuhan
You can buy what ever will make you hard, soft boil a live chick
In vat of bubbling oil
There's an old woman chasing chickens with a carving knife
There's a little boy laughing poking a monkey crying for his life
There are rattle snakes chattering, old hogs gaffawing
In Wuhan, where you can spend a day shopping with your wife
Buy it live, buy it fresh, just out from the forests, don't mind the pest
You want the best you can.. get? Then you come to the markets of Wuhan
Come on pick him up, stick him in the back of the truck too
He'll still make someone a nice Pangolin stew
On the markets of Wuhan

COVID 1 - The Pangolin
I am a Pangolin
Just sniffing around the ground
They can't get a thing on me
I'm the epitomy of anonimity
My scaly back my long nose rubbing up
Against a grub
Or sniffing a rose
Just shooting the breeze with my Pangolin friends
When Atissue, sneeze and then that is the end
Just sniffing around the ground
They can't get a thing on me
I'm the epitomy of anonimity
My scaly back my long nose rubbing up
Against a grub
Or sniffing a rose
Just shooting the breeze with my Pangolin friends
When Atissue, sneeze and then that is the end

COVID 0 - The Bat
I am the bat that lives in the cave
My dropping go splat, but we can be brave
None of us are afraid of the dark - we are bats of course
That would be absurd
Whose ever heard of that
Only up in the colony went around the word
That in some cave in south China
Just take a right at Nepal and you're into Asia Minor
The bats are dropping like flies, that's all
Who told me that? Oh another bat name Mike
In fact there he is down there in the guano
Hey Mike stop being a banana get up here you cat
_Don't mind him he's a fruit bat -they're always a bit bananas
That's strange he's not moving, just taking a rest I expect
Still I have to be off, I've a nice berry bush I'm picking
Near a Pangolin nest, oh they are pests, don't get me started
Seeya Mike -they say a change is as good as a rest
My dropping go splat, but we can be brave
None of us are afraid of the dark - we are bats of course
That would be absurd
Whose ever heard of that
Only up in the colony went around the word
That in some cave in south China
Just take a right at Nepal and you're into Asia Minor

Like snow on cherry blossom
Like snow on cherry blossom
That is my heart
So cold in the morning
Before the day's start
All day wind knocks its branches
But the petals will not fall
Like snow on cherry blossom
That is love's all
Come see the rose with twisted stem
climb up the briar to the light
Come see the fire's licking tongues
Reach up into the starry night
Like snow on cherry blossom
This is our world
Turning in a darkness of space
Where its hurled
That is my heart
So cold in the morning
Before the day's start
All day wind knocks its branches
But the petals will not fall
Like snow on cherry blossom
That is love's all
Come see the rose with twisted stem
climb up the briar to the light
Come see the fire's licking tongues
Reach up into the starry night
Like snow on cherry blossom
This is our world
Turning in a darkness of space
Where its hurled

My Family
Together in our hearts even though we be apart
That is where family is
Though the distances be long
Though time and life wear on
There are more foot steps to be trod
More roads to be rove
More loves to be knowed
Along the road
Together in our hearts
Forever no one departs
This circle is tighter than heaven's bonds
Always in our hearts
That is where family is
Though the distances be long
Though time and life wear on
There are more foot steps to be trod
More roads to be rove
More loves to be knowed
Along the road
Together in our hearts
Forever no one departs
This circle is tighter than heaven's bonds
Always in our hearts
