【庭院之王】
文/天玉之
我有足夠的腦力與體力 來
誘捕日本甲蟲 用BB槍驅趕兔子
給莓子套上網以防鳥兒們偷吃,這樣
我便可以種植鳶尾花 百合花 和玫瑰了
我開車去自己的陷阱
朝九晚五, 一年360天, 天天如此
我繳納稅費 適應各種製度 機構 奔波於
工作、婚姻、孩子間,辛勤如蟻,這樣
我的下一代便有足夠的錢財
買大房子住 像我一樣對付
日本甲蟲、兔子,和鳥, 這樣
他們便可以種植鳶尾花、百合花,和玫瑰了
人們說 我是庭院之王

【King of the Yard 】
文/天玉之
I have plenty brainpower and strength to
Trap Japanese beetles,
Drive away rabbits with BB guns,
Net berries to keep from birds, so that
I can grow irises, lilies, and roses
I drive to the trap of my own
Nine to five, 360 days a year,
I pay taxes and dues,
Adapt to the systems, institutions of
Job, marriage, children, hardworking as an ant, so that
My next generation has the money
To buy a big house, dealing with
Japanese beetles, rabbits, and birds, just like me,
So that they can grow irises, lilies, and roses
People say
I am a King of the Yard
