Brain teaser
【明報專訊】Lying on the street,
I have been abandoned;
I'm not able to quit,
Where's my true heaven?
Without the lovely circles,
My life would be meaningless;
No one even treats me as an animal,
Alas the folks're all careless.
"Don't throw me into the river!"
No one's listening...
Without arms, without a ladder,
I only see myself struggling..."
"Give my circles back!"
Again then I could stand;
Oh, the rust on my body is so black,
No one will understand.
