“NEWSFLASH: EX-CUBAN DICTATOR FOUND LIVING

               IN CHICAGO SUBURB”

            ITS TRUE, HE IS LIVING WITH HIS NEW WIFE,

           AND CO-HABITATING WITH AN ASSORTMENT,

            OF FELINE AND CANINE CREATURES, ALL!

THIS REPORTER, THE FIRST TO BREAK THIS STORY, I MIGHT ADD,

THE CHANCE I HAVE COME UPON AND TO HAVE HAD,

TO INTERVIEW THIS EX-BIGWIG FROM THE ISLE TO THE SOUTH,

NOT SURPRISINGLY A LARGE STOGIE WAS ALWAYS IN HIS MOUTH.

HIS ONLY REGRET HE TELLS US, IS HIS INABILITY TO OBTAIN,

MORE CIGARS FROM HIS PREVIOUS REPUBLIC, HE HAS TO ABSTAIN.

HIS WIFE KNEW HE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A POLITICAL PARTY,

BUT NEVER REALIZED IT WAS THAT OF THE COLOR RED,

HE SPOKE SO GENTLY TO HER WHEN THEY WERE WED,

THAT SHE ASSUMED HE WAS FROM THE “MIGHT AS WELL” PARTY,

NOW AS SHE SAYS, SHE HAS FOUND THAT TO A DEGREE, SHE DREADS,

HER FUTURE RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS MAN FROM THE SOUTH,

SHE DID HAVE HER RESERVATIONS WHEN HE DID FIRST MEET HER,

STEPPING OFF OF A RAFT WITH LOAVES OF THE ONLY THING HE COULD CARRY, BREAD.

WHAT SHALL I DO WITHOUT HIM, IF THE GOVERNMENT TAKES HIM AWAY?

THE BREAD HE CAME WITH HAS RUN OUT AND HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THE KEY,

TO MY HEART AND THAT OF THE BOX IN THE BANK WITH ALL THE REST,

WE SHALL STARVE SURELY, ALL THE CATS & DOGS HE HAS RESCUED SINCE HIS TRIP,

FROM THE ISLE OF THE SOUTH TO THE BEACHES OF THE FLORIDA KEYS.

But I have his name, and that of his memoirs all written in a book,

So if you will, oh pleasant interview, maybe you can for me take a look,

and tell me if I have on my hands a winner or should I just learn the art of the cook?

oh this mans name you wish to know, well I would have thought by now,

that it would have been obvious, but he has changed his name to protect,

his own innocence, that we all know does not exist,

so what the hell, his name is, and remember he changed it too,

                that of, “Kostro”

really so lame, who could blame our government from figuring it out or so they claim ,

it only took them 40 or so years, but we know how the government works,

            and for sure that is without a doubt...                                                       (ed)
