Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for December 22, 2011
Transcript:
'Twas St. Nick in a sleigh with a big red sombrero, he came rushing along like a crazy bombero. I watched as he came, this quaint little hombre, shouting out names, shouting out nombres.... "Ey Pancho, ey Pepe, ey Cuca, ey Beto, ey Chato, ey Polo, Maruca, ey Nieto." Then standing erect with his hand on his pecho, he flew to the top of our very own techo.

If you don’t know Spanish, then how could you have a problem with the word pecho, surfstuff? It’s an absolutely fine word, nothing wrong with it or out of context. Perhaps you should learn! ☺
I’m enjoying this, too… when it’s all completed, maybe I’ll take it to school for my students to read.

I’ve loved all the Christmas poems so far. Both in English and Spanish.
