Chinese Checks I have never fussed And know I must Accept the tolls For Egg Rolls As a matter of trust Mandarin or Cantonese Will never displease I always savor The flavor Of Chinese Brown and white rices Are 'Entices' That they use And infuse With exotic spices What I espy Is a delight to the eye So I will eat This culinary treat And not 'Self-Deny' Ah the inscrutable 'East' Even if I am fleeced No matter - Tis a joy To enjoy An oriental feast So I forbear Whatever the tare Because soon again I will get the yen For more of this fare!
