Pooping Like A Proper Italian this is for Jan



I poop every morning after a Pizzelle slathered in Nutella 
it is nine am in Italy and not a good time to eat mortadella 

I poop after lunch after eating pizza with spicy pepperoni
it is twelve o'clock and way too early to eat my macaroni

I poop in the evening after my pasta al forno with cheese 
its much too early for my salami sandwich, " Jeez Louise!" 

I poop before bed and I let out a great Ah Ah, Mama Mia 
as the neighbors yell out the window keep it down " Maria! " 

Of course I poop like a proper Italian and here's the squeeze,  
when we use the Latrina we fan ourselves to get a tiny breeze!

Dear Rose, You had me rolling what a riot! Only you could turn daily rituals into such a hilarious ode to Italian living. Pizzelle, mortadella, pizza, macaroni and, of course, the Latrina! I swear, I’ll never look at Nutella or pasta al forno the same way again. Pure comedic gold. Blessings, My Dear Rose, Daniel
