Notes About The Poem

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.

*A Trini is a Trinidadian.

Barefoot in the Savannah

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!
