The Women of my Country ~ (Suriname)
The women of my country
Are made out of brown sugar
Honey and gold
Cooked with patience
At low temperatures
Topped with a sniff
Of black pepper and cinnamon
Or curry, if you please
To be served hot
And consumed with love
Extinguish
With an ice-cold glass
Of Borgoe rum or Parbo beer
