O Cubans, you're pursuing nothing but a fairy tale
if you think that English will much help to you avail.
If you thought that Russian was a waste of time, here's news --
English is a puzzle, an enigma, and a ruse!
A blend of Norse and Anglo-Saxon, Greek and Latin, too;
it's spelling is archaic and its grammar really fou!
It borrows words from ev'ry tongue, it doesn't give a hoot
that homonyms are plentiful -- like root and also route!
Should you use the present tense, or should you use the past?
The present perfect isn't now . . . you see why I'm aghast?
Learn some Esperanto or some Swedish or Malay;
use English, like the rest of us, and you will moan "Oy vay!"
