No Cafecito, No Glory !

No Cafecito, No Glory !
 

Queen Isabella looked upon the bounty that Columbus had bestowed, 

Rows of spices, trees and ingots of gold.

Columbus told stories of a faraway land,

Where Angels bathe nude on Cuban sand.


Still the Queen was not happy,

As Columbus could tell.

Many months out to sea,

And now, all was not well.


Queen Isabella leaned forward, 

To address Columbus with a stern "despacito”,

“Back aboard the Santa Maria with you,

 Don’t return home, till you’ve brought me back some Cafecito!”
