That put a very nice smile on my face! Very clever!
The use of Spanish was an excellent idea, but some definitions might be helpful to us Gringos. For example, who or what is Rocinante?
Thanks for the bright spot in my day this afternoon!

I wish I knew Spanish myself. Would you believe I had to go to an online Spanish rhyming dictionary to find "sorpresa" and "promesa" -- or, for that matter, that there exists such a thing as an online Spanish rhyming dictionary?
Rocinante (literally meaning something like "super nag") was Don Quixote's swaybacked horse, although to Quixote he was as proud and healthy a warhorse as any knight could want. Quixote & steed LOOKED ridiculous, set in humorous contrast to how noble Quixote himself acted all the time.
