Hungry Lions are afoot!
They are

At Work of Course!
The Lions are Celebrities!
Some smaller,
young lions are about.
They too have their fans.
I do not enjoy loud crashing sounds.
EXCEPT at New Year!
My secret dream
is to play the gong;
Some Day.
Thanks for visiting!
Warmly, cloudia
I like lions much better than celebrities. ~Mary

(You need the verb-object "wishing y'all" before "good luck," or it doesn't sound quite right.)
How busy! The big dragons look huge and heavy, and the younger kids are amazing. If you need to bang a gong, bang the gong softly, as I sleep in late.

To "Kick the Gong" was slang in early 20th Century America for smokimg opium.

I wanna BANG the gong, NOT kick it, LOL!
Incidentally, Teresa is practically a native Chinese speaker, professional translator and published scholar! Google Translator has it's limitations, as she shows us.
