Does the ox cart
speak?
Does the wheeling cart
sing a song?
The roads came together
as they went up.
The high pass
rose steeply.
The Mongolian oxen
struggle hard.
The wooden cart
creaks sadly.
Please oil me
and help me
and oil me
and help me!
It rushes
down the hill.
It sways
over the pass.
The large ox
trots bouncing bouncing.
The strong cart
leaps jolting jolting.
Who cares if it’s oiled?
Who cares if it’s not?
Who cares if it’s oiled?
Who cares if it’s not?
The ox cart
does speak!
The wheeling cart
does sing a song!
