needs motivation
to open her lovely eyes
and get on with her day

The monster
hides deep within
until it is
unleashed
wreaking havoc
upon me
like Godzilla
upon the
unsuspecting streets
of Japan.

There once was a woman from Japan
She went by the name of Faye-Lynn
A ninja with beauty
To kill was her duty
Her weapon was seduction of man
There was a young girl from Japan
Whose name was Suzanna Tienshan
She didn’t wanna work
Her whole life as a clerk
So she married a dirty old man.

In Mexico, it's 'Ole, Cow!'
In Japan, it's 'Hory Crow'

where you get to use your
opponent’s captured army
sans geography
The USA is this world
others, planets...
Japan is Russia
Brazil is in China
China is out there...!
There once was a man from Japan,
Who lived in an old caravan.
When he took in a stray,
And another next day.
He soon had one other Toucan.

packed in with no elbow room —
assignment Japan
the American’s mischief
erupts in stifled laughter

It's cherry blossom time in Japan
Most glorious spectacle since spring began
Pink and white magic
A symbol romantic
One of nature's most beautiful gifts to man
Remember those first imports from Japan?
It seems they were all built for a small man.
Well, the times have changed.
Things are rearranged.
Japan’s building them as big as they can.
A man who missed his late Aunt Petula
sought a clairvoyant up in Missoula
When she sensed his Aunt Anne
he hopped a plane to Japan
for he owed her a whole lot of moolah

There was a young wolf from Japan.
Who got hit by a pan.
Who wanted to jump.
She got caught by a tree and fell down with a bump.
I think she needs to wear a protective hat.
Tsunami attacked
Japanese were in great pain
They have recovered

Quiet, but for the steady
murmur of waves along
an obsidian beach.
Remnants of an ocean storm,
somewhere between
here and Japan.
Sometime between
Passé Imparfait et

There once was an old man from Japan
Who scoffed at gender pronoun confusion
He said, Listen you young 'uns
If you really want to have fun
Pronounce my name fast --
I-you-he-she
One of the mysteries in the history of man
Kamikaze pilots wearing helmets, I don't understand
To live and to die
For the Emperor, they cry
Unimaginable to us but for the glory of Japan
