ARGENTINA BEATS BRAZIL...



Argentina beat Brazil, 3-0, at the Olympics. If you would like to see highlights please click on this link:

And an original poem titled,

"Argentina Beats Brazil":

mantra to my father, the port-city Sudaca
Boca Jrs. booster hoodlum totem
cortizone to his cronies, the pawn shop vultures
of Seybold Building, the pantheon of Lazarus
disciples and bootleg gold plating specialists

official story is Argentines despise Brazilians
because of futbol technology gradiants of tact elan

but Brazilians have more World Cups in their pants
and the Zeus, Mamon, Jonas of all soccerdogs: Pele

Maradona is no Pele, never was close
to no Pele, could never approximate
the Pele of Pele's Pele.

Is why Argentines must gloat every time Argentina
wins against Brazil is why they got me to say it lyrically

Besides, gaggles of Brazilian tourists gadfly Miami
beg the question, when questions put to blot electronics
return answers like,

Yacht with sunglasses on
and boat shoe mocassins

By all means gloat accordingly.

I mean I love the diction, but is this meant to depict a Google translation gone awry?
