Kitty’s Restaurant
By Elton Camp
As a name for a Chinese place to eat,
“Kitty’s Chop Suey” can sure be beat
If, perchance, it’s the owner’s name
I wouldn’t view it quite the same
As an Asian name it doesn’t ring true
Much more likely would be Wong Sue
Thus, to go to this restaurant to eat
Makes one wonder about the meat
A coincidence, or could it be true
That the meat once used to mew?
It is as American as crackers and cheese.
So many people believe it is Chinese.
Cook meat or shrimp in a wok that is very nice.
Serve it with lots of veggies and white rice.
If you travel to places such as Shanghai or Beijing,
most of the people living there never heard of such a thing
A Chinese restaurant is the only place you will see
this famous dish of great popularity.
You can find it on a menu in either column A or column B
This item is known to all as “Chop Suey”
A long while ago
I realized that standard shapes
Fear all abstract noise
I once had a friend named Louie
who never gave a hooey
about when he ate
as long as his mate
fixed his favorite chop suey.
Louie was married to Betty
who much preferred spaghetti
but when Louie said, "Please,
fix my favorite Chinese"
Betty said, "I won't be so petty
since pasta is in the suey
and I really love you, Louie."
So she took all day
chop, chopping away
till onions made her eyes dewy.
Help!! I don't have an end
to this saga of my friend ...
no way to finish
this tasty suey dish
perhaps you have one to lend?
