requires constant heat and proper treatment."

He drinks a whiskey drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times

Flowers display their beauty to the
bright spring. But when they are pounded
by a downpour of rain and a gust of wind,
they are hastened back to dust. Bamboos
persist in the integrity of their elegance.
Even though they are beaten by frost one
morning and snow another, they remain
true to their green jade hue.
