I think the Chinese Warlord Zhang Zongchang is an absolutely hilarious historical figure. Paticularly, I think his poetry is amazingly terrible and I love it. However, I've scoured the internet and I can't find any valid sources saying that he wrote and published it, or that it even existed at all. It's been circulated on small blogs and forums such as this article but I can't find anything legitimate.
Any ideas? I really want this poetry to be real
Here's a few examples of his alleged poetry:
“Praying For Rain”
The sky god is also named Zhang
Why does he make life hard for me
If it doesn’t rain in three days
I’ll demolish your temple
Then I’ll have cannons bombard your mom
“Untitled”
Someone asks me how many women I have
I really don’t know either
Yesterday a boy called me ‘dad’
I don’t know who his mother is
“Visiting Mount Tai”
From afar, Mount Tai looks blackish
Narrow on top and wide at the bottom
If you flipped it upside down
It would be narrow at the bottom and wide on top
