Listen to poem:

El Chapo

El Chapo, I have faith in you
You'll never come to harm
After all, what's that they say
You know, ... third time's a charm

How long did they keep you
The first time that you slipped
Best not outstay your welcome
Containers must be shipped

And since you're only human
And apt to fall again
You paid another visit
Just like a long lost friend

You spend more time outside
It seems to me, than in
El Chapo, when I meet you
I'll greet you with a grin

The legend of El Chapo
Will live forever more
Soon we'll have those precious goods
Delivered to our door

EL CHAPO... WOW, I don't know if he's a good guy. This would make a great entry to the Robin Hood Contest. here In texas, I once heard EL Chapo was like Robin Hood in a metaphoric way. Awesome poem. LINDA
