By Yu Guangzhong

If a menu is dreamy as a song,then the bill sobering as a cracked prose held long;

A tip agonizes the niggardly,like royalties to pay;a toxic meal’s poisoning forces the toxins hurled upon the floor,like criticisms from a stodgy bore.◆

(FromYu Guangzhong's Classics, Modern World Publishing Press. Translation:Chase Coulson)
