people stopped me
in the street
to suggest to me this
Jeonbuk treat
they say
it to everyone who's new
you gotta to visit the
Jeonju Jew
it took a while to penetrate
the accent but I got it straight
a few hours later then I knew
they meant not Jew but
Jeonju Zoo
an elephant without a trunk
a balding obese chimpanzee
two tigers sulking in a funk
nothing much to see a wolf
lacking a lower jaw
a quadraplegic polar bear
one featherless schitzoid
macaw
you're better off not
going there
ringlets
black hat
hasidic shouts of Oy
Torah in hand
in this unpromised land
ringlets
black hat
hasidic shouts of Oy
Torah in hand
in this unpromised land
cages cages row on row
persisting in my overflow
no matter what you make me do
don't take me to the
Jeonju Zoo
I'd rather go to Gyeongijeon
when I've got nought to do
and wander through the
crowds down there
searching for the Jeonju Jew
ringlets
black hat
hasidic shouts of Oy
Torah in hand
in this unpromised land
