Los Vergelitos

These are the little gardens
where we both enjoy ourselves
now that we are alone
what do you say, darling, shall we go
and pick the little gardens
from those beautiful plains

my brunette sent me...
to a very distant city
she asked me to bring her..
a German lettuce
a French carnation
and an American flower

on a steel railing
the king of Rome strolled
if they were just
they would imprison the one who adores him
and even set him free
by the laws that exist now
