Kintaro, wonder-child <br />with just a bib of red and gold <br />often red-naked; <br />Kintaro, child of nature <br />of the Ashigara mountain <br />friend of rabbit, monkey, squirrel, <br />tanuki and fox <br />Oh Kintaro! save us from this wild carp <br />so gigantic no human can tame <br />or catch - <br />Oh Kintaro! Super child, child of thunder <br />sent by red dragon of Mt Ashigara - <br />Oh subdue the Gigantic carp, <br />Oh Kintaro – save us! <br /> <br />and see now Kintaro comes <br />leaps into the waters <br />and Kintaro fights the carp <br />Kintaro subdues the monster <br />and the waters leap out <br />and flow like rivers <br />and they fill lakes and ponds <br />and Kintaro has subdued the carp <br />and we are all safe now again! <br />Thanks to Kintaro! <br /> <br />and so may all boys be strong <br />may all boys be brave <br />like little boy Kintaro <br />like mighty, mighty Kintaro<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kintaro-wonder-boy/
