The Inferno

surely
as i was
going to hell

i must have
skipped
a level

where the boiling
was maybe six
minutes or

a little more
Alighieri
don't you

like 
your
pasta

to 
be al
dante

Great job! You had me intrigued and amused. "Al dente" or "Dante's Infirno" Well done! (LOL... get it?, Well, done?) Speaking of hell, on another level. You might enjoy: https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/backslide_companion_blues_1237219
