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)

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

Pretty funny comment there, Tom. Little ungrateful whippersnappers. Hey, we'll toss in TWO fortune cookies. How about that?! ~ Ebeneezer Scrooge
