An Ode to Pedro

From Guatemala, to Mexico
as far as East L.A.
La bromista, Pedro Nuñez
is the man, oralé!

He teaches Spanish, he tells jokes
and puts up with a lot
but he don´t take shit from no one
so- remember what you´re taught

He speaks Spanish, English, Australian
and a little bit Chinese
but pájas is his first language
one he speaks with mucho ease

On relationships, life and languages
pay attention to his advice
he´s always right, or so he says
clearly, modesty his only vice

From one pobre perra to the next
he´s really rather clever
he finds a way to teach us all
in his own style, guatever

And so to future students
I offer the following credo:
everything worth knowing
can be learned from Pedro-dido!

Bye bye cockroaches
