Why Curaçao?
It’s in the tropics, but Dutch.
Sort of like if Amsterdam had beaches and sun,
and its canalsides were all coral reef shores.
We are the best in the Antilles because…
Sint Maarten’s got a Caribbean seashore,
but half’s owned by Frenchies, so avoid it, d’accord?
Before you ask, describing Saba’s easy:
“Volcanic drop in the ocean.” (Well, sea.)
Up hill, down dale, we’ve proper peaks all around –
unlike poor Bonaire. So flat! A witch’s tit. No fun.
Just like the Nethies. No point going there.
Try Curaçao!
It’s Holland with
far less cows and rain.
Eustatius offers some amusing place names –
like Fort Jussac and Tumble-Down-Dick (a bay)
and Tommeldijk – but there are much better holes
to stick your finger in on our island home.
Oranjestad was named the capital there,
and shortly after on Aruba as well.
Don’t bother asking – it will just make you frown.
Ours? Willemstad. Just one. No messing around.
Dave Benton tops Aruba’s list of big names
(well, alphabetically) and he’s not even there.
What other reason would you have to go?
Try Curaçao!
Fly there right now!
It’s Holland with
the odd hurricane.
The Dutchies say we need the money much more.
Invest at source, not like they did in days of yore.
Assuage their guilt from growing rich off slaves!
Try Curaçao!
Try Curaçao!
Try Curaçao!
Try Curaçao!
(Not the drink – the place.)
Nee?
