TALE OF RED LANTERNS

the lamp in the fruit department is red.
the lamp in the meat department is red.
in the alley at the night market,
red lantern hanging over each stand
the spotlight at the prize ceremony is red.
the guy on the stage with the prize in his hand,
he is one red-hot item,
red like he works in a darkroom.
when I was at work at the factory,
when there was not enough electricity,
the light bulb went red.
my master said: turn the screw on tight!
