Poor Pablo lives in San José,
but his brain's failing him today.
His mind is troubled by a theft:
Take gold from treasure; what is left?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Previously, you were told to send your answer by personal message. Now, I am changing that. Go ahead and leave your answer as a comment. That way, if someone (let's call him/her ‘Person A') leaves a comment with the correct answer, and someone else (‘Person B') recognizes that the answer is correct, Person B can still get SOME points by being the NEXT person to submit the correct answer. First correct answer wins 100 points, second wins 50, and third wins 25. [Hint: Pablo lives in San José, Costa Rica, and does not speak any English.]

Since the Spanish word for treasure is 'tesoro' and gold is 'oro', when you take gold from treasure, what is left are the three letters 'tes'.

Again Elementary! Treasure in Spanish is TESORO. And gold is ORO. So, the answer is "TES", after taking ‘ORO' (gold) from ‘TESORO' (treasure) . Am I right, Kim?
