1990 
Owned a “Cebicheria”.
Dished out
Fresh catch of the day
Prepared on the spot.  
A customer ordered Trout,
Ate it all 
Later complained 
The fish wasn’t Trout.
Once asked Señor Torres
To buy two pounds of Octopus.
The Chef came back, 
Tricked me with one pound mollusk
Stuffed with a rock inside 
Its head to weigh up….
…These days I only cook at home.
