CAVEAT EMPTOR – Ignoring the Ides of March
Beware the Jabberwock! Beware the Ides of March!
Caveat Emptor! Beware a large purple dinosaur!
Be leery of soap operas and eating laundry starch
Stay away from Jurassic Park, beware the velociraptor
Pay no attention to the fortune teller and the carney
Don’t fall prey to merchandise labeled Hello Kitty
Or that omnipresent purple dinosaur named Barney
Pay no heed to gossips in a town without pity
Wash hands frequently, don’t panic about the virus
Physician heal thyself the ancient Greek doctor said
Look for ethical leaders and scientific truth to inspire us
Apply whatever common sense is already in your head
Careful what you wish for you might someday get it
Who the hell said it? You might just as well just forget it.
Duendes Dance from Dublin to Dandan
Leprauchans are loose all over the place
from the Marianas Trench to outer space
from downtown Agana to Adelup duende
dance a fairy loop, leprechauns know the scoop
Sinapalu guaha binada an man dana todu
from Tinian’s Magpo Heights to Marpo Valley
guaha katdon pika yan bula donne sali
from Saipan villages Gualo Rai to Garapan
plenty kim chi, bifstek and stir fry in the pan
from Susupe’s long beach over to San Vicente
adobo and tinola you will find more than plenty
on Naftan Rock sits Joey Pepe Batbon Connolly
a fat old duendes/leprechaun shanchie wanaabe.
