Listen to poem:
Children of China
Children of China
David J Walker
When left to their own devices
The vise and the vices come out
And Catch both witless and wise
In clamps and crimps and cramps in the
Hard and darkened damp
Of a shade from the foreign Gamp made
and shipped by children of China
who claim all rights to name
the moon and Ursa Minor with
An option for the sun
When left to their own devices
The witless and wisest
Sit side by side in priceless pride
And the cheapest priced prizes
In an anniversary party as the
Sun Also Set Rises
In the west
