Rose Growing Secrets

Can someone help me with "Incident in a Rose Garden"?

I know that there is a version of the poem that starts off like this,

"Gardener
Sir, I encountered Death
Just now among our roses
Thin as a scythe he stood there.

I knew him by his pictures
He had on his black coat
Black gloves, and broad black hat."

..and it goes on with the rest of the poem.


but i read another version with more stanza's in it last year in my English class that one of the lines was talking about death that looks "dressed like a spanish waiter"



does anyone know the version i'm talking about, and if they could post it. thanks.
