Hanoi

Cats cry

Dogs fry

Snake wine

Neon sign

Draw a line

In the sand

Then cross it.

Scooters horns

Bamboo adornes

Children roam

The old stay home

There’s seldom time

To clear the grime

The skies a haze

There’s many ways

I’ll sing the praise

Of Hanoi days.

Daily rice

Noodles twice

Puppets mime

Cultures align

Draw a line

In the sand

Then cross it.
