Espresso

In Florence, if you need a lift Assistance is easy and swift. Espresso - 3 sips - Will not go to your hips But will perk you - it's Italy's gift. It gives you that jolt you require When energy drains make things dire. One strong little cup Helps to pick you right up - Why, a poem it may even inspire!

it also adds "wire" to one's hair! Now try the gelato in Porto San Stefano! Aloha! Rico
