Best Cannoli Poems

Wife yells out the door
"Don't forget the cannoli
and DON'T BACK OVER THE KIDS!"
'Alright, already!'
Another day on the job
(Gotta go murder some guy)

Should my home catch flames; ABLAZE
simply one collection shall I salvage
to spare my brain waves from becoming a maze of craze

ahhh...my beloved Poet Trees shall survive...as to my soul they arrived with much thanks
but NEVER from clever, contrived, silly, pink think-tanks
rather; they gather where my...

Since youth, I've been a big foodie; every goodie I've tried, even sushi.
At 18, I traveled abroad, first to France; Thank heavens I didn't try frog!

Though when I reveal my problem
I’ll be told to “get a life!”

At a friend’s house, after lunch,
There was not just one dessert
But many pastries, quite a bunch.

Thus, confronted with cannolis,
Carrot cake and pecan...

We went swimming in our clothes.
Took off only our socks
And jumped into the deep end.
Yesterday, I laughted so hard
I started sobbing.
Do you know how frustrating it is

Nearly choke yourself on the fabric,
And still be unable to stop laughing?

At lunch on Wednesdays, we go out and dine at Trattoria Romana ,
wth my confreres in the community, there’s a choice to make;

Ricotta and meat cannelloni,
a pizza pie (pepperoni)
with cheesy macaroni,
followed by spumoni.
Holy cannoli!
Roly poly
full of glee
you’ll see
me!
