The Dalai Lama went to the United Nations, and he made a plea for his homeland.
He was treated well, but China never let up its stranglehold, and nobody did anything to stop them.
So, he sent Buddhist monks to make sand mandalas in cities around the world.
A few aficionados enjoyed the process, but most people saw them on the evening news or the web, and then forgot about it.
The monks swept away their mandalas, and spread the hidden neurotoxins into the air.
“Choke on it, world,” mumbled the Dalai Lama, putting on a gas mask and laughing.
