Still Water

大公鸡

大公鸡上草垛

一寻寻个拙老婆

叫她扫地不扫地

刨个坑就放屁

叫她刷碗不刷碗

跳到碗里洗大籫

叫她刷锅不刷锅

跳到锅里洗屁股

叫她刷缸不刷缸

跳到缸里洗裤裆

叫她刷碟不刷碟

跳到碟里拉屎撅

叫她摘茄不摘茄子

站在当院骂老爷子

The Big Cock

The big cock ascends the stack of straw

He has married a stupid wife

He tells her to sweep the ground, but she does not do it

She digs a hole and breaks wind

He lets her wash bowls, but she refuses to do

Instead she washes her chignon in the bowl

He orders her to wash the pan, but she does not do it

She jumps into the pan to wash her posteriors

She does not clean the jar as she is ordered

She then jumps into the jar to wash the crutch of the trousers

She is told to wash plates, but refuses to wash them

She evacuates the bowels in them

She is ordered to pluck the fruit of the egg-plant, but she declines to do it

Instead she stands in the yard and scolds her father-in-law
