Earl Schumacker Poet Didactic

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?

Louis Nathaniel December 20, 2014 at 11:47 PM 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! Earl Schumacker December 21, 2014 at 12:47 AM 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

Jan Allison December 20, 2014 at 5:30 PM I would hope they do Earl but be careful who you shake hands with! hugs Jan xxx Earl Schumacker December 20, 2014 at 5:41 PM 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
