"A Mi Me Gusta Asi"

Thank you Pete Rodriguez for one of the all-time great songs. Boogaloo, baby, wherever you are!

        And thank you The Blackout Allstars for cooking it up on your stove!



Ah, the moment comes,

we face the lizard bull.

Then, release the cape to see

beyond post office posters


of bad men and presidents.

No, the terrifying fate!

Snorting like an old tractor!

You don't like love at all.


Don't much like me, neither.

But here we are,

both fallen stars,

who just need heat.


We were the wildest manatees

ever to dance in the color of water

that haunts old pirate sea caves.

All bet on one thing we agreed on!


Oh, call and response! Mercy!

We slouched our way through,

all the time singing like toreadors

Pete's "A mi me gusta asi!"
