Dragon Boat Festival

By Dr. X. Zhou & T. Gourdon

Lunar calendar fifth month fifth day

Chinese Dragon Boat Festival gets underway,

With families enjoying dumplings, pyramid shaped.

The whole country from end to end Dragon Boat draped

on rivers, streams, lakes and seas contests abound.

Everywhere memorial tokens for Qu Yuan are found

In Miluo River a thousand years ago the poet drowned.
