the golden rat begins


The crackers at dawn
It wakes up the sleepy heads
When the partying late in the night
It never bring a good sleep

The day of the Golden Rat
The hot weather glides into sight
The clouds are clear and bright
The soft breezes passing by

The praying by neighbours
The joss sticks and fire crackers
The ashes floating in the air
The pattern of dust on the ground

As usual the cats and dogs
They have disappeared or stayed out of sight
There is no staring match or running around
They hear the fire crackers better hide quietly

The Golden Rat walks in
Smell his welcome and his throne chair
Sit on it and smell the air
The beginning of his watch and sight
