PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I suppose

I wore out my welcome

in Lisbon.

I was in a brewpub

and after I finished my meal

I needed to hit the loo.

So after paying

I asked the busboy

“Donde estan los banos?”

I was met 

with a really incredulous look.

I nailed it.

It was perfect Spanish.

Of course, this would be great

except folk in Lisboa

speak Portuguese not Spanish

After using the facilities

I quietly left

and headed back to the hotel.

I was flying home

the next day

and Lord knows,

I was running on empty.
