Third Gelato

Walking in Milano On a guided city tour, I wasn't really certain What delights would be in store: A castle (or castello) Which displayed, as quite a perk, An unusual Pieta, Michelangelo's last work. A massive carved cathedral And a mall with fancy shops Filled with Prada and Armani (Not my normal browsing stops) And a modern art museum With some wonderful displays, Such a pleasure to encounter - Worthy of a tourist's praise. But let's not forget the topic That's inspired this day's rhyme - Yes, of course I had gelato With 3 flavors at this time. Hazelnut ('cause that's a given) And pistachio to boot With red raspberry I added Just to try a little fruit. When I think of this vacation I will fondly look on back With gelato as my guidepost, Keeping memories on track.

A tasty treat to mark your way on each and every day. Is wonderful and marvelous and makes you want to stay. But just be sure you walk it off before you have another. For if you don't, when you get back, you'll be one big fat mother.
