Found poem (Shanghai is running a
campaign against the use of ‘Chinglish’)
The sea is dangerous
Please don’t swim
Once happen any accident
At his own risk
If going out
hold walking lane
always cross road
with pelicans
dangerous germs
pests and other
baleful biology
hold fingers in lockjaw
spiders roll cigarettes
trap cats unwary
If you are stolen
call police
Slip and fall down carefully
we think of everything
if serious problem
use Deformed male toilet
tender fragrant grass
how hardhearted to trample them
they are delicate blossom
not for feet
