In fact it was a little bit frightening


So Farewell then




I used to particularly enjoy

(if that's the right word, not sure)

the bit with the red hot dragon


shaped stone thing,

which you had to carry

with your forearms


thus proving your worth

to the bloke with ping pong ball eyes

whom we all imitated in the playground


mispronouncing his "r"s.

But the most satifying bit

was when you ran out into the snow


To cool off with an (imagined) hiss,

gaining some excellent body art

in the process.


They didn't do that

in Kung Fu Panda,

And I don't like Tarantino.
