Same Old Boys

Spaghetti drips from old-fashioned lips like a cascading waterfall; the pics, yellowed; and clothes, of three fellows, sepia-toned. Commonality of hunger or mere curiosity as directed at the bulb. Whether eyes, mmm, while closed, open or scant, the fullness of pleasure of pasta dripping from their mouth; today’s boy just shows off all his food on the tongue.

Truly! Love the assortment of pasta and bread too. Many times the same ingredients, but the variation makes it delightful. Hugs

I bet it is not only young boys who find eating spaghetti difficult. Toothless old men have the same problem. :)

Boys will be boys. Enjoyed very much. I need a bib now when I eat spaghetti. A lot fewer teeth.
