Why Chinese Restaurants Are Always Open On Xmas

Santa's thrashing around in acute pain
  No gifts due to bottlenecked supply chain
     What was Santa to do
     To achieve a breakthrough
  He'd snap up packets of Chinese Chow Mein

Hope his eggs don't roll down the chimney. My Chinese Dr told me, open your Mao and let me Te your tung!

He slipped a few to Rudolph. He’s now been re-christened Hoo Flung Dung. (Apologies to our Chinese Soupers, couldn't help myself)

Hahahahaha! No need to apologize, Terry. The dung that Hoo flung tickles your tongue!

The last ethnic food I will ever eat. After them giving us theChina virus and death? Not a chance. Tortilla, pizza, anything but Chinese. And I think of that darling Communist party. Remind me of Nazis! It’s a funny poem, despite my political feelings, Gershon! Pangie I

Ha, ha! I'll tell Santa he can skip your house this year -- or maybe just hurl a few fortune cookies down the chimney. Thanks, P!

I can understand why Santa is thrashing in pain, it is the Chinese food. I feel sick every time we go there. Enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my page. {Qh, to the bathroom you will go. Ho!!} Sara
