CHINESE LOVER COURERS HIMSELF*

-----------------------------------------------------------

Lovers are like lunatics said the bard of Avon

Here is an instance of lunacy for your fun

Our hero Hu seng lived in the city of chingqing

His girlfriend Li Wang's heart he wanted to set tingling 

By doing something which the bravest would fear

His ploy was to send her a big box thru courier

And in that box  he sealed himself in, oh dear

The box was to be delivered at her office so near

That in 30 minutes he would come out with cheer

He even arranged for a videographer to capture

the scene as he  jumps out of the box to hug her

But alas the best laid plans of mice and men they say

Often go astray -  

The address on the box  had a small  error

And for Hu Seng it meant 3 hrs of sheer terror

As he almost fainted due to asphyxiation

And had to be revived by artificial respiration 

When he came to, Seng said he wanted to shout

But then thought the surprise element would then be out

He suffered in silence for the sake of his love

Not knowing that after marriage he will suffer more...and how !
