Very short émigré ballad
by Daniel Aristi

  1. Pablo, he thought HOLLYWOOD of himself with hope on arrival.
  2. He was young Sr. HERNANDEZ, beautiful on the hill.
    1.                          
      					*
      		
    2. Nowadays all these capitals feel bad –
    3. Like lifting dead cats sewn together,
      1.                          
        
        												limp
