THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 113 by HAN SHAN

First Line: MY WRITING AND JUDGMENT AREN'T THAT BAD
Last Line: JUST MIGHT SCORE A HIT
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; JUDGMENTS; WRITING & WRITERS;
My writing and judgment aren't that bad
but an unfit body receives no post
examiners expose me with a jerk
they wash away the dirt and search for my sores
of course it depends on Heaven's Will
but this year I'll try once more
a blind man who shoots for a sparrow's eye
just might score a hit
