Perfect Pasta Pleasure

Come gather one and all As I tell you of a feast That in this land Could not be any finer What is this meal called? Give us a hint at least What is so grand And Heaven on earth, fair diner? I shall tell you of this wondrous meal That I devour with gustatory zeal When it comes to pasta I'll never say "Basta" That means: Can't get enough Of that semolina stuff Covered with marinara Topped with parmigiana That is my tasty treasure And my perfect pasta pleasure Ravioli, Mostaccioli With sauce: Putanesca or Bostaccioli A pan of Baked Ziti With a bottle of Riuniti Rigatoni, by Ronzoni Oh, just call it Macaroni Ditalini, Cappellini Twirl my fork in the Fettucini Here comes mama with the lasagna Everybody Mangia, Mangia! I could easily consume it For breakfast, lunch and dinner It doesn't matter to me That I'll never be any thinner It's delightful beyond measure This is my perfect pasta pleasure

MAMMA MIA, Corine, thsi is a gustatory treasure without measure! I would send this poem to my Daughter In Law, Donna Castelli -Austin, but her computer is broke down. Seems my son, in frustration, gave it a swat. Poetry of the highest. Love, daver
