Around the World in the Good Ship DOGGEREL, 178

A doggerel series about the countries of the world.

Trinidad and Tobago.

Near Venezuela—in the sea—
Two islands there—and both are free.
How comfy could a country be?

Spain claimed them first—and then the Brits—
Which gave the locals freedom-fits.
(A colony? That is the pits.)

It’s petrochemicals that bring
The dough that makes the wealthy sing—
That makes a mogul feel like king.

‘The legendary music there—
That fabled Caribbean air—
We’d know them, well, just anywhere.

So—get some bucks—and book a flight—
Get to the airport—yes, tonight!
Be on the beach by morning light!
