A social site for poets in Sydney.
The Shanghai Beauty, she dutifully danced for her country
From age nine till thirty-four, and the men all called her ‘Sir!’
The Shanghai Beauty, she’s such a cutie, albeit with a fierce mind
Now her spirit soars through the air like a bird without a care
But don’t dare ever think of messing with The Shanghai Beauty
She may be rare and sexy, but she can still give you a scare
Her name is Jin Xing and she can do anything she sets her mind to
The Shanghai Beauty, she can be charming, cool or disarming
She was once a colonel in the People’s Liberation Army
But now she leads the Personal Liberation Front
The long years of repressing her artistry in the military are done
Now she’s free at last to flaunt her panache and have some fun.
