There once was a little boy from Trinidad
found barefoot in the Savannah mini-clad.
He started on his quest
in a ripped merino vest
but what adventures that little Trini had!

*The Savannah is a large open parkland
in Port of Spain, Trinidad. In 1964 I at
the tender age of 3 was found wandering
there in my underwear trying to find my
way back to my parents who had dropped
me home for a nap after a pool party. Our
housekeeper made the mistake of taking
a nap too. My tales of adventure even
made the newspaper the next day. Well,
they watched me like a hawk after that.
*Above is a pic of the Savannah.
*A Trini is a Trinidadian.
