After Reading Some Chinese Poetry

Wandering freely,
Cheerfully pacing the void,
Coming and going --
Even candles in the wind
Briefly shed light on the path.

All Japanese, all Chinese, all Indians…
Generalizing any group is ridiculous!

Then one day he shouted out, please
When a mermaid siren him
For him it looked grim
Until she was caught by a group of Chinese

My friend married a Japanese lady, 
They are graceful, polite and orderly.
But he was deceived such heartlessly and shady, 
Someone slipped him - a Chinese forgery!
