An Hispanic gentleman came in
and said, "Quarto para mi?"
I habla very little Espanol
so I responded, "Si."
-
As I handed him the registration
I said, "Thirty-four fifty-three."
and, doubting that he understood,
I wrote it down so he could see.
-
As I counted out his change,
on the desk I laid the key.
He picked up his change,
looked at me and said,"Aqui?"
-
-"Right here," I said as I picked it up,
"Here Sir, is your key."
He took it from my hand,
and again he said, "Aqui?"
-
"I just gave it to you Sir, there
in your hand you hold the key."
I sensed his agitation
as he said, "Aqui? Aqui?"
-
Suddenly the light came on
and I began to see.
I wasn't understanding him
and he was not discerning me.
-
I stepped outside and said
to him, "Come along with me."
And I led him to the room
that was marked two-thirty-three.
-
I'm a very clever person.
As quick as quick can be.
This is only one example
of my brilliant repartee!
