Happy For Some

A happy place…for some

Under the houses on stilt
That had no sewers
And was built for whores
To service sailors in Curacao 
A dry, barren Island
In the Caribbean sea.
Pigs lived under the houses
 Grew big and ugly. 
When one of them was 
slaughtered
Its meat tastes of drunk
Seamen`s vomit and
A cheap perfume that hides
The grotesque sex 
In the name of need.
