Este poema é dedicado às fabulososas Vit and Madge, por ocasião do seu primeiro aniversário! O blogue delas é mais importante que o Público, que a constituição da républica e que os vossos filhos! A ler todos os dias. E agora, o momento Luis Vaz de Camões:
E agora, o momento Luis Vaz de Camões
Vit fell into a pot of Portuguese magic
Sometimes she smiles, sometimes she screams
Magic is not all sparkles; nasty spells come with it too
Thank God gin & tonics make things go not so tragic!
E agora, o momento Luis Vaz de Camões
So Vit paddles on, comforted by her soul mate Madge
Who turns the odds whenever she draws
Beautiful things can come out of frustration too
And there is amusement to be had in a country’s flaws
E agora, o momento Luis Vaz de Camões
Vit and Madge are fortunate
The pair lives in a nation of farinheiras and pig’s feet;
Had they been vegetarian
They would have been a lot of trouble indeed!
E agora, o momento Luis Vaz de Camões
Exile works in mysterious ways
Some days you’re behind, some days you’re ahead
Who knows? What if one day,
We wake up to see Vit and Madge in batas instead?
