Gale Force Winds Hit Beijing, Chaos Ensues
Gales hit Beijing strong and fast, Canceling flights and closing streets at last.
In Beijing's streets, a sight to see,
Gales were howling, strong as can be,
Eight hundred flights were cancelled fast,
And trains were suspended, a travel blast.

The winds were strong, with gusts so high,
93mph, a record in the Chinese sky,
For half a century, no winds so bold,
A weather warning, young and old.

The people of Beijing stayed indoors tight,
A warning from the state, a serious sight,
"Less than 50kg, be careful, don't stray,
You might be blown away, on this windy day."

Trees fell down, a number so grand,
Almost 300, in the capital's land,
Vehicles damaged, but no one hurt,
A miracle, in this windy blur.

The authorities warned, with a serious face,
"Stay indoors, don't travel to a busy place",
Most residents listened, with a nervous grin,
And waited for the winds to subside within.

A businessman stranded, with a cancelled flight,
Rebooked for later, with a worried plight,
The winds were strong, from a cold vortex high,
Over Mongolia, where the winds did fly.
