How Silly Is That
HOW SILLY IS THAT?
Only the Chinese/Italians could have invented
Something as absurd as spaghetti
Impossible to spell Italian words
Infuriating to get onto your fork
Impractical to get a good mouthful
And it always slips down and sways under my chin
Always leaves sauce marks on my newly-ironed shirt
How silly is that?
If the Japanese/Germans were the inventors
Spaghetti would be spelled “spagety”
And it would be made in 1.5 centimeter-long strands
With ribbed surfaces to hold the sauce
Each forkful would be of exactly 43 strands
And none would slip off.
Deliciousness and efficiency
