A MACCABEUS IN THE PINK HOUSE

Up there, up there from the Casa Rosada

Pink House in Argentina

A “Maccabeus” with deep crazy eyes

Greeting his excited people

And to other people coming from outside

Leaning on his dog cane

Which includes his five dogs

Promising to them hunger and misery

Hard hand, stick and temptation

Because the churches order it.

They call him “the Hanukkah Puppy”

(Cachorro de Janucá)

Because he has been blessed by all faiths

Why he adores his undead dog

That lived a miracle because he gave it

A luminary in the ass that lasted eight days

And on the ninth

It rose again with a deep bark

The same day they named him President

Who with his five dog brothers

They will be gladiators who will fight for him

And against his people let him stick out his tongue.

Uplifted and happy with a good puppy

His little sister became general secretary

With whom, in his childhood

He played making oil

Chewing nine olives (green olives)

Putting the güitos (stones) into her vagina

Wanting to make the Casa Rosada

Argentina’s Pink House

A new Jerusalem temple.

There it is, there it is, see it now

Like a beautiful “Yehuda”

Telling all his countrymen and women:

-You are going to have to eat pork

I don’t know for how many days

Or how many years.

As you stick your tongue out at me

Or against me

Making any bad demonstration

I’ll have to cut off your head

Or the main hand

With my chainsaw

My dogs barking:

“Twist chainsaw, twist chainsaw”.
