When in Japan, know your chopsticks!

In Japan, that far Eastern land,
Was a girl, who as I understand,
Grew up to be a fool
As she couldn't go to school -
Her poor chopstick skills got her banned!

  1. It's a pity that the Japanese are losing touch with chopsticks when the whole world is taking interest in them. Wait a minute...this sounds like the story of Indians losing touch with yoga, while it is a hit elsewhere.
