Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Escaped Hong Kong

Was over three decades ago

We moved from London to Hong Kong.

I was about thirteen or so,

Not pleased but had to go along.

My parents taught at a high school

Where I was a poor student at.

Hong Kong, still under British rule,

Seemed an okay free habitat.

But back to London I did head,

When I managed to graduate.

My parents stayed, why I don't know.

They stayed too long to their ill fate.

Hong Kong, a place I used to be,

The commies jailed my family.
