Enjoying Pine and Bamboo

Dragons and snakes haunt marshlands,

While paired deer roam thick grasslands.

Phoenixes live content in wutung trees,

While hermit fish delight in duckweed.

And I'm just like them, in love with my thatch hut,

My simple ways pure delight.

Pines out front, bamboo lofty in back,

I could idle away old age with ease here.

Ev'rything stays close to what keeps it content.

No matter what others may crave
