The locusts come to buy trinkets <br />And observe tango demos. <br />A man in a red sweater motions, <br />His hand is a flag. <br />You want photo of paid dancers? <br />You want photo of yourself with paid dancer? <br />Best price for you, my friend. <br />We’ll put a fuangi hat on you. <br />Impress the girls. <br />You want photo? <br /> <br />Tango tango tango tango tango tango <br /> <br />Are we in the USA looking for cowboys? <br />Are we in Paris looking for artists wearing berets? <br />Maybe we’re looking for sumo wrestlers in Tokyo <br />Or snake charmers in India or bullfighters in Mexico. <br />Oh, now I remember - we’re in Buenos Aires watching tango dancers. <br /> <br />Tango tango tango tango tango tango <br /> <br />There. Now you don’t need to go there. <br />I’ve already told you all you need to know.<br /><br />Michael Philips<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tango-stupido/
