Around the World in the Good Ship DOGGEREL, 45

A doggerel series about the countries of the world.

Cyprus.

Othello knew the island well—
It’s where he loved, and where he fell.
(Iago, as the play tells well.)

It’s now divided—politics.
And to avoid some tricky tricks—
A buffer zone to block the mix.

The island’s full of history—
Of conflict and much misery—
But dazzles those who go to see.
