The Jaguar Smile

There was a young girl of Nic' ragua
Who smiled as she rode on a jaguar
They returned from the ride
With the young girl inside
And the smile on the face of the jaguar

-Anon

This is the opening page I have just read from the first edition of "The Jaguar Smile". I guess the Jaguar is a metaphor for the revolution and the young girl a symbol of Nicaragua itself.

Slightly tangential this reminds me of a preface from Liar's Poker...

"Wall Street [reads the sinister old gag] is a street with a river at one end ... and a graveyard at the other. This is striking but incomplete ... it omits the kindergarten in the middle."

Don't ask me what the connection is! :))
