THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #242 (5/8/11)

/// Gutiérrez is The Spanish Singer.
His guitar’s a right-handed six-stringer,
yet the player’s a lefty.
Still, his ego is hefty.
Has no groupies, but thinks he’s a swinger.

/// Poor and starving, he can’t afford meat,
so he strums songs to get food to eat.
Listeners will often fling
things when he starts to sing.
Spanish onions just fell at his feet.

/// Boldly stomped his right foot as he played,
wearing white shoes all filthy and frayed.
Shirt and trousers, both shabby,
clothe a body thats flabby.
Will he woo girls with this serenade?

/// This guy’s footwear, most viewers confuse
with a pair of white sneakers. Excuse
me, but fifty plus years
pass ‘til canvas appears.
Alpargatas. (They’re Spanish rope shoes.)

/// He’s tried playing flamenco, but can’t,
since his fingering skill set is scant.
In a bid for applause,
wears a head-scarf because
it looks cool. (Think of Steven Van Zandt.)

/// Of the two, just the New Jersey man knows
how to sing with guitars and pianos.
But the Spaniard gets even
with E Street’s Little Steven;
both like hanging around with sopranos.
