A Gourmet Treat

A Gourmet Treat By Elton Camp Joe went to Mexico to see a bullfight Then to the arena’s café to eat that night The waiter, “Our testiculo is the very best And I recommend it over all of the rest.” It was a dish of which Joe had never heard To be adventurous the idea to him occurred Two hunks of meat proved to be king size To ask about them Joe decided was wise “Senor, these are from the bull killed today. They are of the best quality customers say.” Joe’s stomach gave a heave and a flip, But he wanted to be daring on this trip.” He found they actually tasted rather good And ate a lot more than he likely should Days later, he ordered testiculo once more But the serving was far smaller than before He asked, “What accounts for this tiny size?” The waiter at first stalled, then gave sighs He then replied with a chuckle and a grin “Senor, the matador doesn’t always win.”
