AMERICA
ROSALIA Puerto Rico, You lovely island … Island of tropical breezes. Always the pineapples growing, Always the coffee blossoms blowing …
ANITA Puerto Rico … You ugly island … Island of tropic diseases. Always the hurricanes blowing, Always the population growing … And the money owing, And the babies crying, And the bullets flying. Ilike the island Manhattan. Smoke on your pipe and put that in!
OTHERS Ilike to be in America! O.K. by me in America! Ev’rything free in America For a small fee in America!
ROSALIA Ilike the city of San Juan.
ANITA Iknow aboat you can get on.

ROSALIA I’ll drive a Buick through San Juan.
ANITA If there’s aroad you can drive on.
ROSALIA I’ll give my cousins afree ride.
ANITA How you get all of them inside?

ROSALIA I’ll bring a T.V. to San Juan.
ANITA If there acurrent to turn on!

ANITA When you will shut up and get gone?
ROSALIA Everyone there will give bigcheer!

Bunny is alive! Last summer a bunny was living in my backyard. Time went on and my family and I spotted bunny less and less. He was a skinny little thing and we were sure it had died. But hear he is the little bastard survived!
It’s good to know that young children have common sense.
