Answer:

Calaveras are poems recited for the Day of the Dead

Step-by-step explanation:

Calaveras are poems recited for the Day of the Dead (All Souls Day) in Mexico. They're satirical poems that poke fun at people in a way that suggests they're dead, even though they're alive. Often the people being satirized are politicians and other people in power or in the public eye.
