Ode to the week that was: 27th March

Obama has visited Cuba amongst much fanfare and show
The first President since Calvin Coolidge, 88 years ago.
This is most significant – it is a Berlin Wall moment
It puts squabbles to bed with much mutual atonement.

But be careful what you wish for, oh people of Havana
Americans will arrive with their burgers and bandannas.
Your new found friends with be demanding and encroaching
The dam has burst, the hoards they are approaching!
