Sing-yi (pronounced Shing'ee) is my wife. Since she's a Chinese woman, she unfortunately has to stay home from this medieval Chinese shindig I'm making up. Prepare for the spring and the fair of Peking. It's a jingling affair with a zing in the air and we'll fling away care as we mingle and sing. Oh, Sing-yi, I swear I shall bring you from there a fair little ring you will bear on your finger, some rare pretty thing you can wear in your hair. |

Ted, I really liked the rhythm of this one...sing-song-y. Nice alliteration and onomatop ahh...forget it, I can't spell it, and I'm too lazy to look it up. Anyway, nice work, Kris the poet's pen...gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name ~ Shakespeare |

Don't worry about Sing-yi. As soon as she saw this poem, she admitted she already has the ring, but expects to receive the hair ornament immediately. (She will.) |
