A futuristic scene.
Early this morning, before the sun rose
I awakened to the sound of thunder.
I hopped out of bed to look outside
When suddenly lightning leaped from the sky.

In the flash I saw something spectacular.
So, slowly, silently, I sauntered to the site
Where I marveled at strange metallic machinery.
I couldn't quite tell what it was at first glance
So I circled the object's surface, searching for a clue.

Right in front of me, in bright colored letters,
Appeared a phrase I did not understand.
Though it was only three words, the last left me befuddled.
I walked away wondering the meaning of "Made In Japan."
