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! Written: May 2015 *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.
