Sugar Cuba

Sugar Cuba? What's so normal about normalization? We become a little more socialist They become a little more capitalist We all meet in the middle and hold hands… How sweet! They give us Cuban cigars We give them rap music A form of torture We can now visit Cuban hotels Cubans can visit Disney World My only question is Does Cuba have toilet paper?

Earl, I'm new to the site but I can already tell that you're a poet I will check out often and draw inspiration from! And the worst toilet paper in America exists on my college's campus, so I'd hope that Cuba's isn't similar to that! Happy holidays!

Hi Matthew, Welcome to Soup. Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate it. Americans are very generous. The Cuban people in general are nice. They like our money and our tips. I'm sure they will want to make us happy. TP is a good start. Have a wonderful Christmas season. Earl

Hi Jan, I don't think they like us but they like our money. The pope brokered some kind of deal. I think it will be a good deal. It is always better to have a friend than an enemy. I hope it works out. Take care. Earl
