The Channel into “Asia’s World City” is not very wide…
But adorned with enormous skyscrapers on either side.

But as we approached this City…
The weather changed… what a pity…

The eight 8000 skyscrapers disappeared in the sky…
And little was visible…even nearby.

On this fourth visit here we stayed for two days long …
But in the rain and fog I saw a lot less of Hong Kong.

Every woman and fella…
Walked under an umbrella

People appear to do their best …
To be well dressed.

They appear healthy and fit…
Probably walk more then sit.

Trim and fit they appear…
Life has the longest expectancy here.

Woman on average turn eighty six years old
And man reach eighty we are told

The buildings are futuristic and bold
And they continue in a fast pace to replace the old.

In the rain we strolled, walked, and climbed some more
Till our feet and legs were sore.

We maneuvered carefully as there are no handrails for protection
The “Ladder” streets in the historical section

We took local bus # 193 …from the pier
To Stanley market that was not near.

But…we had a seat…
In a double decker that transports 124 people with speed.

Two hundred thirty THOUSAND people they say
Are transported DAILY this way.

There was much to learn and see
In the “Museum of Chinese Medicine” history

We entered the Man Mo Temple were young woman, very intense
Burned incense,

The fog prevented us from seeing the light or spark
From the fabulous laser show after dark

And as we sailed out of Hong Kong bay…
on the second day…

I treasured the memories from before…
Of this glistening City even more

And I realized for a place to get the proper recognition
They do need the perfect weather condition.
