Recuerdos de Madrid – A Tribute In Verse
In Madrid I found a sunlit square
In which there stands a mighty bear
And candidly I must declare
That she is a bear…without compare
Drawn by the aroma
Of the fruit of the Madrona
She thrusts her muzzle in the air
Approach her, if you dare
But be aware
She is not in any mood to share
Crowds will congregate and stare
I doubt that she would care
For when focused on the aroma
Of the fruit of the Madrona
That is neither here nor there
