ふくらんだ
女房どのの焼き餅に
亭主
箸の先っぽで穴あけたれば
女房どの
すぐさまそれを頬張りて
焦げた金網の上
新たな餅のせて焼くなり
除夜の鐘
Baked Rice Cake
Baked rice cake swelled
By the jealousy of his wife
If her husband made a hole in it
With the tip of chopsticks
She immediately chewed it
Put a new rice cake on the burnt wire mesh
And baked it.
Bells on New Year's Eve.
