LI

Please, no Chinese water torture!

I confess it freely:

One li is, like, .3 miles;

a mile is roughly three li.

LO

Lo and behold! The universe

is all around us, now.

Sometimes it’s so beautiful

that one can only bow.

MA

Ma gets blamed for everything,

like every other ma.

Pa, meanwhile, is on a pub crawl,

skanking to the ska.

ME

Me and Ma, Mimi and Mo,

we got along so well,

till Mimi got her muumuu;

now our life’s a living hell.

MI

“Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi, mi,” Mimi sings,

to warm her throat.

Mimi is, she claims,

an opera singer, quote unquote.
