2008: Year of Olympics or Disasters?

Seems like China's coming out party '08 is not going so smoothly.
A friend of mine sent me the following poem this morning, I've hastily translated it.

We bring in the new year well, and it's met with a blizzard.
We pass off the torch well, and it's met by Tibetan activists.
We develop the health care in the countryside, and then foot and mouth disease happens.
We buy some stocks, but their prices fall.
Go by train, and it gets derailed.
Stay at home, and there's an earthquake.

好好过个年吧，遇雪灾了，
好好火炬传递，遇藏独了，
发展农村医疗吧，发手足口病了
买点股票吧，大小非减持了
做个火车吧，还出轨了，
在家待着吧，还地震了

Hopefully the earthquake will end the trend, the last thing that's needed is for this poem to be rounded out with a terrorist attack, volcanic eruption or meteor strike.
