游泰山

遠看泰山黑糊糊，

上頭細來下頭粗。

如把泰山倒過來，

下頭細來上頭粗。

Tour to Mount Tai

From afar Mount Tai looks dark,

Its top is small and bottom large.

If Mount Tai turns upside-down,

Its bottom small and top is large.

天上閃電

忽見天上一火鏈，

好像玉皇要抽煙。

如果玉皇不抽煙，

為何又是一火鏈。

Lightning in the Sky

Out of the blue came a chain of fire,

As if God needs to puff a square.

If God ain’t need to puff a square,

How come there’s one more chain of fire?

笑劉邦

聽說項羽力拔山，

嚇得劉邦就要竄。

不是俺家小張良，

奶奶早已回沛縣。

LOL at Emperor Gao

The Hegemon-King is strong and big—

Hearing this, Gao’s fleeing like a pig.

If it wasn’t for my ancestor, Chang,

Emperor Gao’d be back at home, shit.
