Leo Larry Amadore Poet Free verse

Fina's Coffee Shop, 435 Old Port Isabel Road

Is this a poem? -- I'd say so!
Near my home, convenient, clean
and comfy.  Very low prices.
Varied delicious specials.
Slogans artistically painted
in strategically located spots --
poetic samples of our regional
colorful cuisine and culture:
"I like my cafecito with a little chisme"
(I like my coffee with a little gossip);
"Y la dieta?" (And the diet?)
and near the register, another:
"Hay que empezar el dia con 
         HUEVOS,*
frijoles, chilaquiles, y cafe"
(You have to start the day with 
         EGGS,
beans, chilaquiles, and coffee).
At the exit, beside the door:
"Si acabas de llegar bienvenidos,
y si ya se vas vuelve pronto"
(If you have just arrived welcome,
and if you are already going
come back soon!)
An important part of home.
At this location since 1984.
Friendly and familiar.
Puro poesia.  Pure poetry.

*"con huevos", here has double meaning
