THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO BEAUTEOUSLY

The moment that I saw you, I fell in love with you

And I could see in your eyes that you felt the attraction too!

Your dark Spanish complexion, your dark Spanish eyes,

Everything about you was so fine, handsome and wise.

We spent the week together, you came everywhere with me.

Even to the Restaurant, where we shared a cup of tea.

On the bus to 'El Cotillo' where we swam in the bluest sea.

And when we got caught in the rain, you were so kind to me.

I carried you to the Airport in my pocket, but you weren't allowed to fly.

You did not have a docket, that is the reason why.

And although you have your own wings, they are only tiny things

which couldn't take you very far and so our sad story begins...

So I had to go home without you, I really had to leave,

I had to bring, (to dab my eyes) a tissue from my sleeve.

I heard you heave a heavy sigh, when we said our goodbyes.

When we were forced to part, tears fell from both my eyes.

But I'll visit you sometime soon and you can meet me with your cousins

For you have lots of relatives, dozens and dozens and dozens.

My beautiful Spanish insect, with the orange Aura,

My friend Cockroach, from Fuerteventura.
