Wisdom of the ages from Straight Up’s poet laureate in re: “Hu Takes Full Power in China As He Gains Control
of Military.”
WWWWW&H, COLUMN B
[China’s president is Hu Jintao and its
premier is Wen Jiabao.]
Confused over Why
China does what it does,
With every wrenching
change
Leading to further fuzz?
Mystified by How
Capitalism’s sprung
Seemingly full-grown
Like
instant egg fu yung?
Unsure about just Where
To find Hubei, Yunan,
Shanxi, Jilin,
Zhejiang,
Even Sichuan and Hunan?
Wondering just What
Direction China’ll take
As it charges straight ahead
From social quake to quake?
One thing’s for certain: Hu
Presides at the top. Amen!
And his trusty
number two,
At least today, is Wen.
