Around the World in the Good Ship DOGGEREL, 146

A doggerel series about the countries of the world.

Saint Vincent & the Grenadines.

Another Caribbean site—
A country, dude, though small and tight
Has got those beaches, private isles,
And yachts of many varied styles.

And Kingstown is the capital—
With hotel rooms, all very full.
The French were first—and then the Brits—
Who had to leave (did they throw fits?)—

And then the French—oh, yes, again!
And the Brits (did all heads spin?).
Volcanic as these places are,
Eruptions are not very far

Away. No thanks. I’ll stay right here—
Where there is not too much to fear.
Just taxes, aging, vertigo—
Except for those, I’m good to go!
