News Flash: China Update

For those that don't already know
My dearest China had to go
Back to the land of his namesake,
See mom and dad, and grab a break.

6 a.m., departed early
But don't be vexed and don't get surly
Word on street is he'll have pictures
Though he's not our summer fixture.

Got a morning email and found
That he's arrived both safe and sound
I'm reporting to preempt the nervous
Friends he has that call me (his phone service).
