por The Honduran short bombas They are a type of speech or copla that Hondurans recite during different celebrations, whether they are cultural or recreational. They are usually recited between two people.
Commonly these are recited by a man and a woman in front of the audience present, although it may vary depending on the original script and the characters.
These bombas are normally folkloric verses already practiced. However, in some cases they are the product of improvisation.
These couplets include humor, flirtation, and romanticism. The bombs are usually started by men, who throw a verse at her partner and she should answer better so as not to be embarrassed.
List of Honduran short bombs
Pump #1

I think you malnourished
why do you have sunken eyes
and the sad look
Pump No. 2
– Him: a rose was born from a trunk
and from the water a snail
from the eyes of this young woman
the rays of the sun are born.

and of the town a wall
what bliss was mine
If I fell into your net
Pump #3
– Him: you are carnation you are pink
you are a nail to eat;

Pump No. 8
– He: the beautiful moon is coming

a feather from his wings
to be able to write to you
Pump No. 9

scenting the heart

will fulfill this condition
let me drown it out
the flow of my passion.
Pump No. 10
– He: I’ve been dreaming for days
that your mouth will be mine,

that this mouth will be yours,
So I reserve it in silence
for someone who makes noise.
Bomb No. 11
– He: here I bring you little girl
a sprig of basil,

It was this donkey and ‘Sinforoso.
Pump No. 12

Bomb No. 13
– Her: At the door of my house
I’m going to plant a rosemary
for the shameless men
who fall in love without money
– Him: From my house I have come
dragging this cloak;
just to come see
Vulture quills.
