The Godfather - a Godfather Born

A table set for three
                                           Permission to be excused
                                               A dish of veal served

                                                  Behind the toilet 
                                        His revenge is set and planned
                                                  Back to the table

                                                 He sits in silence
                                         As train passes by, he stands
                                                   A table for one

Hi, Michael. Just now seeing that you did this one. I have to tell you we really liked it. WE did a blog on some of our rules. It's because you capitalized the lines. We had so many good ones, that is one way we cut a few. So sorry. this was good. I know sometimes I don't place and I wonder why, so that's to let you know. Luv, Andrea
