Nepalese In Chinatown Poem by Kwai Chee Low
Nepalese In Chinatown
Tables laden with stones and gems
Adornment for a lady and her hems
Cat’s eyes in necklaces, sapphires and rubies
Shimmering in oriental colours, such beauties
Strange and mystical dark objects
Matched by inscrutable, smiling Nepalisians
Eager to please and master in negotiation
So convincing of zero defects
Beware lest you take home an unwanted companion
In that object you clutch with abandonment
So happily ensconced for ages untold
Thinking what a bargain to behold

You wrote with a light mood; so I read in a light mood. You noted down the interesting experience in Nepal in a poetic way. Nice.
