Why is it that Japanese fighters are all so creepy?
The Ninja was a covert agent sneaky.
In fact a body guard and an assassin,
With a reputation and legends “amassin”
A love of sharp weapons like the Samurai,
It’s enough to give one “goose bumps”, to make you cry.
Ninjas were introduced in 15th century Japan,
They could freak people out as only Ninja can,
Although, as a general rule, Ninjas liked to avoid combat,
Their arsenal didn’t seem to support that.

As they were essentially spies,
They were the masters of disguise.
They used a ninja-to, a short sword this proved to be,
Shuriken, or sharpened throwing stars,
(Not very popular when relaxing in spas).
A Kaginawa, or grappling hook, if you please.
And poison darts and explosive powder that could make you sneeze.
And if all of these weren’t enough,
Boots with ashiko (crampons) could spike you rough.
If their operation was at night in the dark,
A Shinobi Shozuko was just the lark.
This was a black outfit for night ops.
This came with a hooded cowl, which was tops,
For preventing identity detection,
By covering the face as a deflection.

A Ninja went to a restaurant one day,
After eating sushi, he found he couldn’t pay.
The restaurant owner said “Not to worry”.
“As long as you don’t get into a Ninja flurry”.
“We don’t want Shuriken throwing stars!”
“Flying through our Sake’ bars!”
“So, if indeed, you don’t pay, it is our wishes”.
“That you now go to the scullery to wash some dishes”.
