color=#0000ff size=2>Yolanda......that is great!  I knew a poet from
Saltillo who was known for his "Calaveras" that he wrote.  Unfortunately he
has since passed away but I will always remember him.  Your Calavera
reminds me of him!  Oh ...the stories he probably could have told
me!!!   Thanks for bringing this memory back to me~!

Subject: [ranchos] CALAVERA
POEMS


A tradition in Mexico is the writing of a CALAVERA for

friends,family, public personalities and politicians.  Calaveras are

meant to be funny, they are not meant as eulogies, but are mild

teasing.  There's usually some sort of rhyme, and they can be

several lines to several stanzas in length.  They can also be poems

of sharp criticism especially towards Los Politicos or Governantes
from
Mexico and U.S.

Here goes one for you Joseph, ojala y te
guste.

            
JOSEPH

  ESTABA JOSEPH MUY DE MANANA
  COMIENDO PAN Y
TOMANDO SU ATOLE.
  PLATICABA CON SU AMADA,
  CON SU "AMORCITO
CORAZON"
  SUSPIRABA Y SE QUEJABA
  DE SUS PARIENTES, YA EN EL
PANTEON.
  DONDE ESTARAN?  DONDE SE ENCUENTRAN?
  A DONDE
SE FUERON? QUIEN ME DA CUENTAS?
  Y DE REPENTE, SE ESCUCHA UNA
VOZ...
  AQUI ESTOY MI PRIMO, PORQUE ME BUSCABAS?
  PARA QUE SOY
BUENO, Y PORQUE ME LLAMABAS.
  AHORA...
  VENGO POR TI, VENGO
POR VOS
  VAMONOS JUNTITOS, SOLITOS LOS DOS
  VAMOS A JALISCO,
AGUASCALIENTES Y ZACATECAS
  A BUSCAR A TU GENTE QUE ALLA NOS ESPERAN.

Gracias Irma,  that was my first
calavera ever.  My husband says that one must be inspired when writing one
and that the person it's about must be your guide.  Mi suegra, que en paz
descanse, wrote one for each of her children and they treasure
them.  Give it a try and you might surprise
yourself.    I did!
