“Mojique sees his village from a nearby hill
Mojique thinks of days before Americans came
He serves the foreigners in growing numbers
He sees the foreigners in fancy houses
He dreams of days that he can still remember now…”

Frankly speaking, today’s charity shop haul was most satisfactory. £1.50 the lot.
