Gung Haggis Fat Choy - a Poem by Todd Wong

Gung Haggis Fat Choy By Todd Wong What is Gung Haggis Fat Choy? It is the inter-section of Chinese and Scottish cultures. In a new land, In a new voice, In a new vision. It is Gung Hay Fat Choy; the traditional Chinese New Year greeting meaning "Longevity and Fortune." It is Robbie Burns Day; the celebration of the Scottish poet Robbie Burns, and all things Scottish… including the national dish of haggis: Oatmeal and sheep organs mixed together and cooked in the stomach of a sheep Just like some perverse mix of multi-culturalism. Re-constructed Re-constituted Re-gurgitated Gung Haggis Fat Choy! The Chinese called this land Gum San (Gold Mountain) And the Scots gave it the name of Nova Scotia Westerners became Easterners The Far East becomes the Far West Gung Haggis Fat Choy! It is the play on words. It is the play on cultures It is the play of time and place. It is simply the play of Canadians… Gung Haggis Fat Choy! Something Old Something New Something Borrowed Something B-r-e-w-e-d… Gung Haggis Fat Choy! It's quirky It's surprising It's enlightening And arising… Gung Haggis Fat Choy! It's a vision It's a belief What you see is what you get. And you don't get what you can't see. Ó 2003 Todd Wong |
