A doggerel series
about the countries of the world.
Brazil.
It’s got that
rowdy carnival—
It’s got some
famous beach—
It’s got that
Andes Christ so high
It’s nearly
out of reach.
It’s got
polluted waterways
Where people
shouldn’t swim—
Or even ever
touch—not safe
For any her
or him.
It’s got the
jungles (fading fast—
How soon
before they’re gone?),
And most
impressively, of course,
That mighty
Amazon.
Official language spoken there
We know is
Portuguese—
And always
filling Northern minds?
A life of
careless ease!
