Campo Alegre

Campo Alegre re-printed Under the houses on stilt That has no sewers And built for whores To service sailors in Curacao A barren island In the Caribbean Sea Pigs live under houses Grew big and ugly When one is slaughtered The meat tastes of a drunk Seamen’s vomit And cheap perfume That hides The grotesque sex In the name of need
