Apropos of NUTHIN'

An Ode to Manservants

What began as a meal in a tiny bistro
Turned into 3-courses of gut-wrenching laughter.
Our hot latin server, mi nombre Santiago
Tried to offer some queso for "after."


He was offering something to keep us well fed
His motives were honest, most likely sincere
But the shy senorita with tresses of red
Thought indecent proposals were reaching her ear.

He was offering Parmesan sprinkles, its true
But the senorita thought a message was hidden
Was he suggesting something that he'd like to do
Was he promising love most forbidden?

No, the poor lad was doing his job to his best
Which was questionable, I'll give you that...
While we thought he spoke of amore prohibido,
He had said, "You wan chizz wit dat?"

Pleasant enough looking-- not my cup of tea, but the poor man had such a heavy accent it was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to follow his questioning... Throw in a bottle of wine and we were all helpless trying to translate what he was asking us ~

You are a great lady.
