Pedro Pasta

A Spanglish Birthday Poem

Pedro Peter picked a perfect pound of flour

He patted and pinched and pressed and pulled

For nothing short an hour.

Pedro Pasta (aka Bigote)

cut and dried his lengthy stands of pasta.

Hasta! Hasta!

In the boiling pot of water

Pronto! Pronto!

Calabaza y pepitas

pimiento y parmesano

Colocar dos platos en las mesa

Comida perfecta

para una fiesta

Salud! Salud! Salud!

Happy Birthday Peter!
