So what's with you if the toy is made in China?
used to think things are so massed produced there
they can never be of any value?
ah, but value is in the eye of the beholder
you'll realise that sooner or later as you get older.

You used to look for something original
do you really care if its top of the line?
so throw the bias of 'made in China' stuff out the door
instead of holding rancour because 'they did it for less'.

Which is true..they do work for less
but why should that be equated with inferior quality
don't you see how you've been conditioned
to think in a distorted way?
it's time to put things into perspective,
eliminate the bias, before your wits lose their composure.
before buttons are pressed and the worlds of rice bowls and cereal boxes are all over...

but then again you never liked rice, did you?

Thanks James, Nan

I'm sure that you guys realize that for simplicity I chose China because that used to be considered the no one producer of anything cheap and plastic..at least in Montreal...and poems such as these can be written in any number of perspectives..

Hello Martie,

Thanks for sharing Martie and Happy New Year to you..some ideas come out of nowhere and I'd like to continue on the theme...but not all at once
