Collection of Pentasyllabic Verses Written Today from 12:00 to 3:30 — Xiaoren Talks to Himself — Please Don't Take It Personally

Red clouds see off Old Owl
Hoping to stir the Zhejiang tides
The rotten snake won't leave its cave
Can only use its mouth to drag

Extremism becomes Nazism
Having a mouth means having guilt
Jingsheng's surname is still Wei
A human brain grows dog legs

Democracy and freedom
What a fine leisurely roam
Old tomcat, spring-fevered night
The Yangtze flows westward

No rush, unify slowly
That way it won't hurt
When the clouds part someday
Day and night in the Silk-Spinning Cave

To be great, one must be large
Above and below are always reliable
The autumn wind is not for the leaves
It just carries away the red clouds

Not yet divided but already split
Wasting mouth and tongue for nothing
On the Eastern Sea, raging fire
Another track left in the void

Here comes one-thirty again
Xiaoren must duck out first
Haven't yet eaten lunch
Already breathing my last

Xiaoren is fit in every way
Just short of money and grain
Gnaw on two pieces of bread
And back to the old recitation field

The House of Crimson Delights has a path
Today opens the grand bazaar
Everyone please rest assured
I'm only setting up shop right here

Socializing and harmonizing
Banners all bright and clear
Only regretting the white flowing water
On the Eastern Sea, no bird sings

On the Eastern Sea, birds flock together
Wanting to occupy the sky of clouds
Raising the banner, calling to weed out evil
Sealing mouths, opening new graves

The grass-dragon can change color
No one recognizes it
Xiaoren's crime is grave
By all means, show no mercy

When granny was a little girl
A single smile toppled the cosmos
On the Eastern Sea the birds don't return
Green plums grow thin in the vase

A contest to elect the village head
Every one of them tilts their chin up
One acre and three-tenths of land
In what year did it ever bear the surname Chiang?

It's all illusory
Attack and there's nowhere to strike
The great man is imposing indeed
This time there's a political achievement

The great man certainly means well
Xiaoren keeps it in his heart
Find the tale of Peach Blossom Spring
Read every line and every character

Red peach, light sleeves dancing
Zither and lute so harmonious
From before the hall, a dark fragrance drifts
Stirring waves across the entire sky

Vast, vast is the universe
Yet it can't hold a few characters
Sun and moon are originally colorless
Once they enter the eyes, they breed incidents

Delete, delete and delete again
Tie it up and put in an IUD
A thousand-year civilized nation
So many people — truly extraordinary

Xiaoren now must again
Practice singing like a crow
If there's no date tonight
I'll certainly be home early
