Once Upon In America

Once upon a time in America:
It’s the story of a guy who wants to sleep with a young girl,
But for her to accept, he must offer her a cake,
A white cream cake, with tasty strawberries,
So he buys this cake she wants, and goes to the girl’s house
Alas, waiting for the girl who takes her bath,
He does not resist, and eats the cake….
That is often love……. Regrets consumed….
It says a lot and so little.

NB: I only narrate a scene of this film, whose music moves me so much, a masterpiece by Sergio Leone ( 4h anyway, but I had to see it more than ten times)

If only he had the brains to bring two cakes. She probably married the baker anyway, cut out the middleman.

This sounds quite interesting ! Did the man lose the girl because of his lack of restraint? Curious to know how it ended!

I can believe it happened just like you said. Life, live it or lose it. Have a great week, Yann. A poet friend (to be) in Texas, Bill
