"Roberto's Apple Reflections"
(c)2010 Bob Atkinson
he brought the apples to the beach
to "Scotty's on the Strand"
at eleventh and the windy shore
where for nine years he'd been
"the man"
who carefully prepared the dishes
for people traveling far
to enjoy the peace of this nice town
"Hermosa on the sand bar"
he gave them a delicate wash
then held them in his hands
turned them over more than once
to insure their flawless nature
these orbs will make a flavored dish
he thought as he removed the peels
we will, today, make people smile
as they give our pancakes flavored sauce
not many in this world
can do what Roberto did
with skillful hands he crafted
the great food for the people
Debbie came and watched him core
those little yellow balls
and place them gently in the pot
where water was now very hot
she didn't say a word
just stood there in the doorway
and savored what she saw
in the kitchen of this cafe
thinking of the broad smiles
of the people she would see
made Debbie so satisfied
in this ocean town to be
as more customers were seated
to view ocean through large windows
she smelled the ingredients he'd added
to the pot of appled sauces
Martine was yes astute
at making people feel at home
and giving them what they desired
to drink, have knives and forks
the people he did seat
in the picturesque cafe
on the beach of white sand
north of Redondo bay
Debbie knew Roberto's skill
was superior and refined
she knew it would be easy to get
customers his cinnamon pancakes to buy
the pancake batter she'd watched him make
she saw him measure precisely
parts that would make up the whole
and give his dishes such nice flavor
a lone customer on the board
had seen the special's description
wanted slices and sauce of flavor
placed on his stack of cinnamon discs
sadly, he couldn't wait
for the apples to be cored
and cooked to simmer in the sauce
of Roberto's family recipe
to his work he had to go
to make his dollars large
to pay for pancakes in a plate
tomorrow he would get some
more people, as they trickled in
did have sleepy eyes
she explained the care Roberto took
to cook for them a wonderful surprise
they thought about the change in menu
was that really what they wanted?
as Debbie stood there confidently
saying they would enjoy this muchly
Evonne reflected this change in plan
she had her food picked out
eggs and potatoes she had thought
would be so very magnificent
but Debbie's confidence was clear
in Roberto she did trust
to make a dish of taste
that the world would love
so Evie allowed herself to believe
that what Debbie said was true
how could she pass up the food
that was extremely hard to do
Bob sat there thinking of the way
they would arrange this dish
the eggs they could cut in half
and potatoes were good too
when that egg plate was empty
the pancakes, with apple, and flavor
they would attack with gusto
taste the sauce of Debbie's description
and give her their unqualified opinion
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Debbie if you please
would you bring this chef out
we want to congratulate him
on his most delicious production
this isn't an ordinary dish
it's obviously made with care
and brings so much pleasure
to the tourists over here
so Roberto came to our table
not knowing what was wrong
we shook his hand and told him
we had this food enjoyed
he told us he had grown
the apples in his garden
and brought them to the cafe
for us to take part in
the tree he grew from a seed
in his flowered garden
bearing fruit of the apple
in a wooden box he packed them
apples sweetly cooked
made memories of food sensational
in the town of pier and sand
of swings and beach volley ball
in the cafe tucked away
near sand and strand for bicycles
of those memories we are so grateful
we genuinely thank Debbie, Martine
and especially Roberto
