A Boring Day at the Fortune Cookie Factory

Wei Lee decides to have some fun.

A Boring Day at the Fortune Cookie Factory

 

By Elton Camp

 

Wei Lee had been inserting inane messages all day

“Things are to go very well,” they often would say

 

But one main thing ultimately got him into a rage

He got really fed up being paid sweat shop wage

 

Finally, he grew to detest those rich folks eating cat

And decided that he would do something about that

 

“What would happen,” Wei Lee did grin & suppose

“If some new type of message I should compose?”

 

He gleefully imagined some American turning pale

If he were to write, “You will soon be placed in jail.”

 

Wei thought of what other messages he might do

“Unlike friend Russia, China will really bury you.”

 

Then he figured out one that real panic would create

Since the reader, he knew, Chinese food had just ate

 

“You have just eaten poison” is the note he wrote

While imagining some capitalist clutching his throat
