Last Chance Gas

well you've seen the signs
usually on the ouskirts of
some foreboding desert
"Last Chance Gas!!" it cries
do I dare pass it by??

not my problem here
my last chance gas
is the needed burp
after that heavy Italian meal
that I enjoyed so much

if it doesn't materialize
I won't be able to continue
on my consumption
of this fabulous food

eerrrrrrrr......bbbuuuuurrrrrrpppppppp!!!!
now I'm satisfied
an Italian cook's compliment
bring on more meatballs!!!
lots'a sausage too!!!
don't be stingy with the pasta...
and pour another red wine
because my gourmet friend....
I have just begun to dine!!!!
