Rumba we are in Cuba
Swirl we dance the floor
Roomba the vacuum we clean the floor....

1 bottle of wine
1 block of cheese
Many cuba libres
Chopped dreams 2 ounces
1 blonde far away
Heat till melancholy
Serve chilled...

Propelled by snorkel and scuba
That dreamy swim to Aruba
But the trip was long
Why? A heading quite wrong
Ended here...welcome to Cuba...

Farewell then Fidel Castro
You have come to the end of your show
With Che and a cigar you seemed so cool
But over Cuba you no longer Raúl ......

Spent my vacation in Aruba:
Mind takes it easy, budget – hard.
And even if it's friendly Cuba
Memories stay in credit cards.

Poor Barron Trump was really upset
It seems his Dad would not buy a pet
He wanted Cuba
But Dad heard, "tuba"
Billionaires are as cheap as they get!...

Socialism, a theory of Karl Marx
Has kept too many nations in the dark
   Russia, Cuba, China
   And now Venezuela
Where half the electric grid doesn't spark...

To all you Socialists who can't attend reunions
  In Cuba, China, or the Former Soviet Union
Here is my recommendation for what ails ya --
  Spend a couple months in sunny Venezuela...

A cup of tea was from the own village,
When the world was flat,
Tea from Sri Lanka,
Milk from Australia,
Sugar,Cuba,
Cup and saucer from China,
After rounding the Global village!...

I looked up from my dainty teacup with pink roses and gold trim
I think it was Cuba Gooding; I am pretty sure it was him.
Hey! I said to my husband, who was devouring his fish.
Is that who I think it is? He looked and said “you wish”....

(the Rolling Stones play Cuba) 

It’s time to rock, 
It’s time to talk, 
Let’s religion balk, 
And let normality walk. 

Don’t let the Pope talk, 
Don’t forever singers stalk, 
We’re writing in chalk, 
That secularism must dock....

Havana's a great place to come,
The jazz gives you something to hum,
Drive an old vintage car,
Or smoke a cigar,
But don't get too drunk on the rum!

They're headed our way
In a big mothership
Cigarshaped,
With a band that reads
"Made in Cuba"

Oh, my, inside the saucers wait,
To flurry forth and wipe us out
Or to serve tea in,
We're not sure which,
Either way,
That day will likely be a bit__....

There once lived a guy whose named was Bubba
Had a pet  Cocker Spaniel named Tuba
           Through party each new year
           That brought very much cheer
   Til’ he met bride online; moved to Cuba

The spirit can never be suppressed
its silent essence roars

No government or despot’s reign
can change its ethos pure

Bottled up the pressure builds,
like Cuba underscored

The rhythm faint but always there
—erupting force majeure

Americans lifted their picket
When Cuba proved they can't lick it
The bureaucrats came
And went back home lame
The Yanks just can't tolerate cricket!*

*Research concluded American diplomats
were assaulted by Cuban crickets rather than a sonic
bombardment. ...

The Cuba Libre, also called rum and coke
is favored by many kinds of folk.
To its pleasures I succumb
and ne’er refrain from!
Sip, savor
rum.
What flavor!
I sing and I hum!
The taste is just so awesome!
I really love this drink, it’s no joke.
Its praises I sing to all you gentlefolk!

“Show me the Monet!”
I heard Cuba say.
Good thing I heard wrong;
It can’t be that way.

H/T To Caren Krutsinger's "How I Feel about Monet"

small islands surround by the caribbean sea
from the greater and lesser antilles
Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, Guyana just to name a few
the place where tourist comes to see the caribbean view
music, beaches, sports our culture they come to see
from that hard labour they want to be free.

Hey, ms tallywoman, tall me bananas
I'm so split mit vanilla and chocolate
And riven with grief.
I promise to play nices
And disable my vices.

I know hoo yoo are - you're Lola the showgirl
Banging and banging out rhythms and rhymes
At the Copa, Copa Cabaaananas (in Cuba)
The best gesture of my brain is less than the tilde in all your mananas....

Tom Cruise line, worst all-time:
“I love you, you complete me.”

Not quite right,

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?...

Money is Welcome Everywhere
"It's not the money, it's the stuff!" Bernadette Peters, the Jerk.
"Give me the MONEY!" Cuba Gooding, Jerry Maguire.
“Do you smell that? Money!” Paul Newman, The Color of Money
Buys us our fancy cars, fine houses, pretty mink coats, ritzy computers,
But also purchases...
groceries, gasoline, toilet paper, Sharpies and notebooks
money is welcome everywhere....
