L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Talented With Chopsticks

I met a strange young gal in St. Louis
Her favorite Chinese food was chop suey
This gal got her kicks
Twirling her chopsticks
I finally said, “too much kung phooey.”

Caren Krutsinger September 27, 2021 at 9:38 PM Love the last two words the most! L Milton Hankins September 27, 2021 at 9:56 PM LOL. I'm glad because they were the last two I came up with. It was originally just "phooey," but I needed a syllable and I realized "kung" would work perfectly. You can borrow that phrase, too, because I won't ever need it again!

Rico Leffanta September 26, 2021 at 11:48 AM Interesting subject; which is proper etiquette, to hold one's chopsticks at the top, or at the bottom? Perhaps she could not decide? L Milton Hankins September 26, 2021 at 11:49 AM I don't know about etiquette, Rico, but I hold mine at the back...and I don't twirl them around, especially with food on them! LOL
