South American ABCs
A is for Argentina. Standing its ground, you know that the missing Malvinas will never get us down!
B is for Brazil. Fun and free, look at the hills, there are so many trees!
C is for Colombia. With it's nature so fine, the comunistas will be gunned down in time!
D is for Dixie. Please don't call them slaves, they're "willing workers" and it's all the rave!
E is for Equator. Not the line on the map, it's a confederation where Spaniards nap!
F is for Falklands. A British port. “They’re the Malvinas!” The Argentines retort.
G is for Galapagos. Not quite a nation per say, It’s a national park where Americans lay!
H is for Hangaroa. With its Asian flair, the Japanese insist that the treaty was fair.
I is for Inca. Look how long and skinny, the people here are quite inny!
J is for Jacobita. The scottish home, after the english smacked them they fled here to roam.
K is for Klein-Venedig. A magic resort, if you're ever around say "heil!" in the ports!
L is for Lima. Centralized and strong, South Peru’s warring fiefs are quite wrong!
M is for Magellana. With it’s Colorados and guns, Magellana is like America but more fun!
N is for Natal. Look at the windmills! Look at the dykes! The funny Dutch tulips are such a sight!
O is for Orinoco. Like the wind that blows, it is to here where guns from Dixie flow.
P is for Patagonia. Where the buffalo roam, the Indians of South America call it their home.
Q is for Qullasuyu. Once industrious and rich, poison gas doesn't scratch that old itch.
R is for the Ragamuffins. A name they detest, their funny ways are the butt of jokes by the rest.
S is for South Peru. Federated and right, if Lima wants it back it’ll have to fight!
T is for Tawantinsuyu. Angry and mad, Lima’s goons shot many of their dads.
U is for The United States of Amerigo. A confusing name I'm sure, for their neighbors upstairs already got the name before!
V is for Volívia. Where history reversed its course, taking revenge on the natives with guns and force.
W is for Warszewa. A depressed little isle, the genocided people almost never smile.
X is for the XYZs. Anonymous with power, Caraí Guazú’s ideas cause the rich to collapse like a tower!
Y is for the Yeomen. Their mixed race so clean, Francia’s ways will reign supreme!
Z is for Zapatista Land. A place so open and free, if we're anarchists they'll love you and me!
I'm sorry to say but it's the end of our rhyme, we'll have to get together at another time. But the nations of South America are as varied as you or me, so plan a trip down south to see it in the breeze.
