Wishing and still hoping.
I have always been a fan of Kung Fu and Brue Lee
I so wanted to Learn the art and looked around for lessons
But although I travelled far and wide I found none not one for me
Disheartened that instead of becoming a master
As I had dreamed about it since childhood
It was a complete disaster
Then one day out of the blue
I was looking at the back of a Kung Fu magazine
Something caught my eye and my imagination too
It was an ad which read '' Master kung Fu within an hour''
I just couldn't believe it could be true.?
But I sent five hundred bucks to a post office box
Somewhere In Timbuktu
About a week later I received a packet
With no return label or return address
I begin to think is this some kind of racket?
But I couldn't wait to get it open and see
What was inside waiting
There for me
Inside was a Kung Fu Suit way too small
With instructions written in Chinese on what to do
Also included was a chart with Kung moves I couldn't work out at all
Funny it came with a jar too?
The instructions read
'' Go out into the garden wearing your new suit of navy blue''
So I did go into the garden as it told me to do
But the Kung Fu suit was so small and tight I couldn't move
And I was getting frustrated too
I unscrewed the lid on the jar
Unexpectedly and suddenly
I was attacked by a swarm of angry bees how bizarre?
It was a scam and a sting alright
As I first thought it would be
I was covered in hundreds of bee stings ouch! that night
I hope this will warn you to think carefully
That you can't learn an ancient art within an hour
And you may never be Bruce Lee.
