: In my quest to learn spanish and work on accent, cuban friends at work have me recite things...
: today I was taught these two "poems" from my buddy Carlos. :)
:
: Tiene el leopardo un abrigo
: en el monte seco y pardo
: yo tengo mas que el leopardo
: porque tengo un buen amigo....
: yo soy un hombre sincero
: de donde crece la palma
: y antes de morirme quiero
: echar mis versos del alma...
: Jose Marti
Great poems by the 'Ybor City Guy'. As far as I know there are AT LEAST three sculptures/busts of him down in Ybor right now.
