Animal crackers in Buenos Aires
Middle aged expat Spaulding,
unhappily balding,
hastens to the door of
no doubt a dreary end,
each twilight Lang Syne Aulding.
Perhaps mysterious Spaulding
can no longer pretend,
looking past the balding, not
to miss the Garibalding,
nor from a rostrum scolding
his moonstruck countrymen
in Linz and Rostock, as well as in
proud Baden Baden,
toothbrush moustache twirling,
solar cross unfurling,
no meating and no girling,
with only foe, no friend.

I didn’t have that particular reference in mind, but it is a good second one to have, thanks
