Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Linguini

(Try to sing this one to the tune of MARIA from "West Side Story")

Linguini -
the most luscious cuisine that I’ve ever had.
Linguini, linguini, linguini, linguini.
Oh what flavorful things in that dish make my taste buds glad.

Linguini, linguini, linguini, linguini.
Linguini, 
I’ve tasted a dish called linguini,
and now I’ll always wish
to have that creamy dish 
again.
Linguini.

Style Parmesan has me singing.
Add garlic and wine and it’s zinging.

I’ll always be craving linguini -
the most luscious cuisine I’ve ever had.

Geoffrey Brewer April 14, 2022 at 6:24 PM A toothsome musical morsel that deserves a much praise as the delectable ‘Maria! Nice one! Andrea.

Victor Buhagiar April 14, 2022 at 1:18 PM I love pasta but must desist. I'll never forget the lovely pasta, linguini and others when I so often visited Rome. Hugs.

L Milton Hankins April 14, 2022 at 12:36 PM This is so much fun and so well-done, Andrea. I wish you had been able to submit it to the Musicals contest. Best of luck in Angela's contest. Andrea Dietrich April 14, 2022 at 12:57 PM hahaha. What you said to Rico!! yeah, I did it way too late for the other contest but a least it was something humorous to use for Angela!

Rico Leffanta April 14, 2022 at 11:32 AM But how does linguini lighten one's load? Aloha! L Milton Hankins April 14, 2022 at 12:37 PM Oh my, Rico, I ate a dish on Tuesday evening at Sal's Italian Restaurant here in town, and believe me, it lightened my load considerably!

Joseph P. DiMino April 14, 2022 at 9:08 AM Yep!~now to let my belt out a notch -- the perils of too much of a good thing. What the heck...more linguini:) Simple homemade table wine my favorite.
