Of what it can mean when a fellow named Hong
And one Ting (Lord High Admiral!) go it ding-dong!
A Nelson whose nomen is Whang
To me, I admit's, inconceivable.
And war between Wo-Hung and Ching-a-Ring Chang,
Sounds funny, but quite unbelievable.
And can you conceive Maxim bullets a-sing
Round a saffron-hued hero called Pong, or Ping-Wing?
A ship called Kow-Shing, I am sure,
Can be only a warship pour rire.
