Manual Para Héroes o Canallas

Learn to laugh sinisterly
To glance sideways at baptisms
To deny a seat to ladies
To pee drawing little circles

Learn to frown
To annoy nuns and children
To trip up the traffic cop
To spit mercilessly with a fang

Prefer the knife to the gun
Cheap wine to fine sherry
An infamous handkerchief to a tie
A Venus from Murcia to the one from Milo

Learn to cut off your head
To wear black Sunday mourning
To swear on trains
To play parcheesi with bandits

Drink up the liquors of failure
Move to live in Chinatown
Spread a thousand alarming rumors
Learn to be bad and a fugitive
