Signor

Neville

Signor

 

Hey friend

 

Would you accept these five Cohibas

For a ride into town?

 

Si signor

 

For a cup of coffee and a plate of beans?

 

Si signor

 

For a night with your wife?

 

Si

 

For the hand of your daughter?

 

Si signor

 

You drive a hard bargain amigo

 

No signor

 

I drive a 1952 Chevrolet but we have to eat

  • dusk arising

    Ahhh Cuba eh? Heavenly Havannah.

    Thanks for the big smile.

    • Neville

      my very sincere pleasure.... Cuba is an amazing country, I consider myself fortunate to have been twice before it eventually gets its heart and soul torn from it..... Neville

    • Fay Slimm.

      Well said this telling message . Seems easy exchange for food on the table in places like Cuba yet when humans have no other choice than life on the poverty line such bargains are very hard driven- - serious wit comes to the fore Nev. methinks in all your uniquely informative writing............. Fay

      • Neville

        Why thank you Fay.. a double delight today, firstly, I was not expecting you to be around today and secondly for such an insightful and otherwise encouraging set of comments..... Neville

      • orchidee

        I was around, of course! A fine write N.

        • Neville

          A hefty big thank you for being a round, I would much rather that, than you being a square... cheers, Neville

        • Suresh

          I don't want to bring everybody down and be rotten, but:

          Isn't it a pity that those who can afford it, bargain for pennies with those that need them - AHHHH human nature.

          --- but the poem did bring a smile

          • Neville

            it is a sad fact that often, that is the case... at least you could raise a smile , as well as an eyebrow... cheers... Neville

          • Goldfinch60

            Fine write Neville which bought a smile to my face but the serious undertones had me thinking as well. It is such a shame that in this day and age there are still people struggling to live.

            • Neville

              thank you my friend, the double or rather contrasting effect these words had on you is exactly what I had hoped might result from them.... I fear that there will always be those much less fortunate than others.... Neville

            • Poetic Dan

              Brilliant, loving this catch up.

              • Neville

                How very bloomin kind of ya Dan.... Cheers mate.. Neville
