HAI!<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

by: Susan Elliott<\/p>\n

Evenings here, Konichiwa!
\nThe gajin came to town.<\/p>\n

Itadakimasu opens.
\nServing ocha all around.<\/p>\n

Itame holds in his hand
\nsuribachi, surikogi.<\/p>\n

While geta waits till orders up,
\nUna-don, norimaki, ebi.<\/p>\n

Omakase for best friends
\ntazuna rolls, sashimi.<\/p>\n

Futomaki won’t be enough
\nthe gajin still are hungry.<\/p>\n

Yum, Yum, so good hai
\nOkonomi, ocha more<\/p>\n

Domo arigato,domo.
\nGochiso-sama, sure!<\/p>\n
