I saw him far away.
He was riding really slow as usual.
You may have seen him
He's about 65-70 years young.
He has a Blue Bicycle.
There is a blue gas can on the back
and the gas lines run along the frame up to the front.
On the front he has a hot-plate.
There is a metal frame around the hot plate.
On top of the hot plate sits a Very big Soup pot.
Inside the pot is pure heaven.
Conch soup at its finest.
I ran and waved, he was coming towards me,
but I still waved like a fool.
He stops his bike and pulls the handle bars,
A big Bike kick stand, wraps around on both sides of the bike.
Voila!
It is solidly in place.
I saw 2-3 of the Housekeepers from my hotel
walk up to him before I got there.
He opened the top of the pot
and the soup was boiling.
Wow, what ingenuity I thought.
He talks the whole time he is serving the soup.
Into styro-foam cups with a big ladle.
He has his system down pat to the tee.
He can pull out a napkin, pull out a top,
stirs the soup, you see,
corn, red beans, potatoes and other veggies
and of course Conch.
"200 J, please" I say.
I walked back to my room and sat on the Veranda and enjoyed every drop .
So, if you see him, Please give him a holler.
