in the Puno altiplano of Peru) I’ve been to Machu Picchu Where the natives try to eat you – Though nowadays they treat you like a king. But of all the esoterica To be found in South America, Lake Titicaca’s still my favorite thing. I didn’t like Caracas So I hopped on my Alpacas , And headed for a little place I knew: Laguna Llacasapa, On the shores of Titicaca, In the Puno altiplano of Peru . A Pilgrimage to Mecca Or a visit to Tribeca To Llacasapa’s beaches can’t compare, For there’s not a holy city That can e’er outshine the Titi- -Caca region’s special magic, anywhere. Not for me, the ivory towers Of the major global powers. I far prefer these equatorial climes. New York has Hot Baristas , But Peru has Sandinistas (Who are really Nicaraguan , but it rhymes.) My vocabulary’s tragic; To describe the Puno’s magic I can never find the proper adjec-tive. But it’s here that I’ll retire, Whatever may transpire, For there’s nowhere else on Earth I’d rather live. Titicaca’s limpid water Stretches toward Bolivia's border Underneath an azure sky; it’s quite a view. Here at Laguna Llacasapa On the shores of Titicaca In the Puno altiplano of Peru. |
