Notes About The Poem

Pizza Pleasures





Since, I was only a  braided, wee bit of a thing….
Pizza, was even better than owning a diamond ring.

It was a taste of Italia and great camaraderie also….
We were joyful ano no time for pretentious snoberry.

I  do confess to you I could eat Italian to this day…
Sausage, provolone, garlic, divine alchemy, any day!

Add a spellbinding, multicolored, melting candle…
The romantic centerpiece, was more than I could handle.

For decades, this delicious food, in my leaves me excited…
Today…..even the thought of it, makes me so delighted!

Dear Pangie, I loved this nostalgic celebration of the joy and camaraderie associated with eating pizza. There are so many cherished memories that have accumulated since childhood. I could almost save the delightful flavors and the emotional warmth that pizza brings us as a source of lifelong excitement. I also loved the imagery of the romantic, candlelit setting. Now I am hungry for pizza with my beautiful wife! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Dear Daniel, I added an image this morning! Right on! So many memories of good friends,goos times, fantastic aromes and Italian music. I like pizza placed on a fresh, white tablecloth, with a rainbowed candle placed in a used, bottle of Chianti! The chatter and amicacle smiles of my warm friends. These are such lifelong memories I cherish and makes me smile. Wonderful to see you again. Thank you for your imput. Pangie xxxxx

Pizza is a favorite for me but I no longer eat it. It has more salt than I usually eat. Still, I love this poem.

Hey, Miss Hilda! I am thrilled you like pizza thank you, i added an image,,,I only eat one or two oieces, am certain I ate more long ago. Salt is tricky, the longer in your pantry …..the weaker it gets…it is necessary for our hearts to be right! Nenethe less, glad you liked this! Pangiexxxxx

How funny you said,,,cheese,please! There are certain words that my cat likes and she’ll come to me if I say cheese, please. I don’t get it responds please to that. Anyway, you know how old I am and pizza came out in Chicago when I was about seven.. It came in paper bags at that time like flat paper bags when you took it home and the car smelled so good full of pizza. There were no pizza places there was only one in Chicago.. I’m sure it’s gone by now.. Delivery of pizza in the winter to get pizza so you know that’s life in the winter yikes. But anyway, I’ve been since I was seven.. I am surprised I don’t waste 300 pounds. You know what I weigh so I’m putting it here. I’m.Very small. Pizza delivery started when I was about 812.. and then I lived in Elmwood Park so it was fun to have a delivered to our two-story house that I loved. And I’m glad. You liked the poem, Pangie xxxx
