Chow

I was watching our lovely local KHOU 11 TV anchor the other day with a similar name and got this screwy idea. My apologies to the Chinese and all those fabulous Chinese restaurants that are ubiquitous around the world with English menus… A lifesaver in a foreign land where one does not know the language. Chinese English and their food spoken everywhere.

Chow


My name is Minh Chow.
I live by the docks in Macau.
My establishment Chow's Chow
floats on an ancient dhow.
I do not serve cow.

But I do serve the rat,
ratty, tat tat, lickety-split.

I have the chickie flied lice.
It is oh, oh, so velly nice.

We have the pressed duck,
run over yesterday fresh truck.

Sweet-and-sour pork,
must eat with chopstick,
we have no fork.

Thousand year old egg,
dog found yesterday,
in city dump, he gag.
Very tasty but not cheap.

And my special Chow's chow mein,
muchy better my Chow's chop suey.
Likey much better my cousin, Huey.

Served up in hurry, lickety-split.
If you no likey, you go take a shit.

With two, you get egg roan.

As the Italians say, leaving the boat,
"Ciao, Chow's Chow."

This poem is as politically incorrect as can be. Love it! I want some "flied lice."

A fantastic poetic eye-opener, even at this time of night. No two Chinese restaurants are alike. I learned that if you have to wait for a seat it's usually a place worthy enough to sit down, enjoy, and eat. I mean chow-down. LOL

I was hoping that someone would catch it. But the preferred craft in China is the junk or sampan. But I guess that a dhow from the Middle East could have sailed all the way to Macau where it was sold to Minh Chow so that she could build her restaurant on it.

Please click the "larger view" of the restaurant boat and notice how I changed its name to fit the poem. Still have a little artist in me yet, thanks to software like Graphic (for the Mac).

A charming piece of personification that sends both an entertaining message as well as one of education. Oh, my, do I remember the 1000 year old egg I had in Hong Kong, along with some roasted water-bugs the size of trout. I was a guest of a business partner so there was no choice but to eat.
