Nancy Kaufman Poet Political Verse

The Chinese Horoscope

When at a Chinese restaurant, I frequently dote upon their paper place settings, the Chinese horoscope. It likens a token animal to the year that one is born and a few personality traits that some people scorn. My brother was born in the year of the monkey and many a day he's still very funky. My sister was born in the year of the rat. She's creative and charming but perhaps a little fat. I'm a large cat but I never purr. I was born in the year of the tiger. Now our president was born in the year of the dog which could make for an interesting dialogue. Dog people value loyalty and so does he. There's no mention of dictatorship or royalty that I can see. Joe Biden was born in the year of the horse. Their motivated by happiness,  an excellent choice.
