"Don't you go, Teacher Zhu, "
Uncle Chong said,
Whilst his eyes had adjusted to,
Signal that he had indeed,
Brought some Duan-wu dumplings,
For her palatal enjoyment.

The dumplings reached home,
With a child in boastful anticipation,
That he had indeed, 
For surety he had expected the dumplings,
To come to his table,
For a joyful family come-together.

"There's something very wrong, "
Teacher Zhu added,
"I thought we had one dumpling per person,
and one extra,  but where's the extra? "
And Mr.  Phey, her spouse,  replied,
"I don't know where that was,
But I know where it is, "
Additionally,  he rubbed his tummy.

"Oh my,  that was from Nanny Chew, "
And Teacher Zhu magically flashed another extra.
