My Last Gelato

I guess we get what we deserve But Delta has a lot of nerve To serve “gelato” with their meal As if the stuff were somewhat real. The days I spent in Italy, Gelaterias luring me, Have spoiled me truly and I’ll miss My daily double scoop of bliss. Departing Venice in the rain I knew that I would e’er remain A fan of this Italian treat And bogus versions can’t compete. My trip is over; once I’m home There’ll be no new gelato poem But here’s to all that I enjoyed – Guess Haagen-Dazs will fill the void!

Well I know I had gelato in Nashville. Doesn't NYC have Gelato shops? Anyway, the mystique of the old world, I'm sure, added that extra special flavor. Sounded like an awfully wonderful trip. Welcome back to boring old NYC. :)

Glad your back safe and sound! I'm not a fan of gelato, preferring sorbet or sherbet. When in Paris I also treat myself to the raspberry flavor which cannot be described in words but must be tasted and even then it leaves one speechless. Glad you enjoyed my dog poem based on visual experience in our town's little park where I walk daily with my dachshund. / M

hi, there, in my local grocery store is a brand of Gelato that is really yummy with flavors like chocolate peanut butter. That sure is a great treat you wrote about.
