The Chinese are an ancient race.
They have a giant data base.
It dates from Ming and further back;
there's is no wisdom that they lack.
And so it's no surprise to me
that they are first, creatively,
to invent the use of skis;
fermented drink; and honey bees.
They also were the prime designers
of comedy and all one-liners.
Chopsticks, paper, black gunpowder;
they even made the first clam chowder.
Silk and ivory they made
into forks and window shade.
While the rest of mankind grunted
and on all fours went and hunted
for a snail or sour root,
the Chinese dined on bamboo shoot.
No wonder that today they hanker
to rule the world and be its banker!
