A pot of chai tea
A bit of tai chi
Dice fine the daikon
And dine on banh mi.
Then backstop the chopsticks
With fork, spoon, and toothpicks
For pastas and tapas,
While salsas take plate-licks.
To chutneys’ sweet piquance
We pledge our allegiance,
And pico de gallo?
Que rico sin pretense!
Concernant le dénouement,
Come all ye stout-hearted
Just busting a seam to
Be custard and tarted.
