Chinese Disease?

Chinese Disease?
Chinese Disease?

He didn’t say Chinese debt,

did he?
He didn’t say Chinese pharmaceuticals,
did he?

He didn’t say Chinese phone,
did he?
He didn’t say Chinese computer,
did he?

He didn’t say Chinese pen,
did he?
He didn’t say Chinese tie,
did he?

He didn’t say Chinese martial arts
muscled men guarding his dumb body use,
did he?
He didn’t say Chinese warfare— “The Art of War,” Sun Tzu,
Referenced by ruthless generals advising his feeble mind,
did he?

He certainly didn’t say Chinese philosophy—
‘cause there’s confusion. Did Confucius say,
“Man who tweet all day have bird brain—”
Or
“Boss Tweet like man who mix Viagra and
Ex-Lax—don’t know if he’s coming or going ?”
