Chopsticks

I love a meal with chopsticks – It’s elegant and fun. I’m slowly eating, bit by bit, When forkers are all done. Each morsel’s daintily procured And lifted to one’s lips; Some concentration’s needed So the food stays in its grips. But once you get the hang of it, You’ll dine with new delight, A feeling of accomplishment In every single bite. Some people find it challenging, But everybody should Discover just how pleasant It could be to eat with wood!

I'm sure its good but I'd never get my food. I have tried and tried but just do not have that dexterity. Lee

Chopsticks are the real reason why nearly all food found in oriental restaurants is chopped up into small bits. You have written a nice poem here.

So amusing! I love your awesome rhyme. After reading it, I am challenged to use chopstick again although it's still quite tough for me no matter how deep I concentrate. LOL. Thank you for sharing!

Well done Ilene. When in a Chinese restaraunt, do as the Chinese do. I never use a fork there. I want the full experience. Rice is the hardest thing for me though. But I get it done. And I use a spoon for my egg drop soup. Fingers come in handy too. 'Nuff said? Thanks for the smile. :-)
