Carrie Richards Poet Rhyme

Dinner Out! Hmmmm....

My hubby said "Honey,...you pick!...Let's go out to eat!"
I jumped up and said .....,"Let's do Italian!  Oh, what a treat!"
The waiter came promptly, handed a menu to me
There are too many pastas.... Oh, what will it be??
These names on the menu....so many to try
I'm confused ....what to order...just pour me some wine!!

Penne is money, and Linguine....a far away place??
Ditalini......sounds like a medicine.....when an ailing heart races!!
Fagiolini.....or Rigatroni......aren't those Operas  to sing??
Canneloni is a weapon!....And (un) Ravioli....which is happening to my brain!!!

My poor hubby is starving....grabs his fork, and starts to doodle
So I finally make a decision......."Waiter,......just bring me some noodles!!"

Carolyn Devonshire August 18, 2010 at 1:12 PM :) Really enjoyed the way you had your own "translations" for all those Italian dishes, especially Ditalini (digitalis?). I've made cannelloni and prepared rigatoni for the first time last week. Used eggplant instead of noodles and it was delicious! Best wishes in the contest with this truly witty piece! Love, Carolyn
