I Took Some Chinese Classes

I took some Chinese classes
It hasn’t helped a bit.
It’s not my teacher’s problem
I think my head’s just thick.

My teachers gave me homework
With lessons on CDs.
I listened, threading traffic
Nearly causing casualties.

After hours of my homework
With a blank stare and a yawn
Chiu would listen to my comment
Then tell me it was wrong.

I tried to comment freely
Barely knowing what I said.
And judging by the faces
I’m just a bamboo head.

I memorized in Zhongwen
Bible Books for Laoshi Chu
Which I quickly have forgotten.
My brain cells have no glue.

I really am just joking
A big “thanks” to all of you
Medoko, Yuki, Rusan
Chisato and Laoshi Chiu.

And now that class is over
Things are starting to click.
It’s taken over six months
I guess my head’s just thick.
