Quirino wanted cheese

poem by Maria Luiza Freitas Guimarães

The beautiful goal danced and played,
his beautiful silver staff gleamed.

The paw of the black paw got stuck in the gate.

Zezinho brayed the zebra that brayed and got angry,
Zezinho mocked the zebra that zigzagged.

The boy screamed when he saw the angora cat,
the gray cat meowed as he heard the boy scream.

The leprechaun's distended right finger hurt too much,
it hurt too much, the leprechaun's distended right finger.

Quirino wanted cheese,
I just wanted hot cheese
the cheese burned your chin
complained about the hot cheese
