If You Pull a Long Face - Part Xxviii
IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XXVIII
IF you pull a long perplexed face
You could be watching SUMO in Tokyo Bay
Or reading this without a NIHONG-GUO dictionary in front of face
Rather I'd say you were the victim of WATENAGE
If you gasp at me pulling - pardon me - long dude face
Most probably you landed on your head due to ****ANAGE
Little use then pulling that long RISHIKISHI enigmatic poker face
Even if you were a 400-pound local HEBI-KYU god YOKOZUNA
Yet if you insist on pulling your long-slapped face
It's your own funeral living stabled in a SUMOBEYA
When all around GEISHA fans dream behind rice-paint face
Of what use then 30,000 YEN KENSHOKIN PRIZE nets you each day
If you can't help pulling that long-repressed face
Think you can gouge eyes out kick grab groin pull hair
Think again you had better throw salt to purify SHINTO DOHYO ring space
Or else find your MAWASHI loincloth ripped-off your shame hair rare
So if you must pull that 1500-year long SUMO face
Make certain you perform KAMI salt-throwing ceremony
First of all at TOKYO MEIJI SHRINE like all RISHIKISHIS
Before you digest 5000 to 7000 calories of fried diabetic chow each thumping day
