population swing

population swingShifting population 


The foyer at the new hospital was full of women
It was a cold day, and they wore coats, brown /grey 
short and squat they looked like toys sprung live
 and had to see a doctor promptly.

Algarvian women tend to be short and after marriage 
grow sideways till they look as squares of flesh, but they
are beautiful   when young what they have in common
though is a tongue they never stop talking and that is why
men spend a lot of time in cafes drink wine and play cards.
Once upon a time this was an Arab province but the beauty
of the Semitic race didn`t stick, the Moslems brought their
 own women. The nearest I can compare them to are
 the Norwegian people of the north, who one day got, fed up
of cold winds and no oranges, populated this place we now
called the Algarve, and her people are fond of bacalao.
