In the Mood

                                   coast to coast love songs  
                                   rendezvous, dedications~ 
                                       laughing together   


	                 I’ve lusted your spaghetti Bolognese 
                         with you, fine port, and a soft ocean breeze
                         Will I ever leave?  Never!         
                         I will love you forever!
                         But all I ask now is pour more wine please


          together thirteen years and like always ~ you’ll forget the garlic toast

this is so cool and a joy to read. Is it an Italiano man or just the country?? maybe it's both that you adore.
