Choosing his lunch was the pigeon grandfather’s goal.
He liked lasagna and fettuccini down to his Italian soul.
But right now, he had to concentrate on his pigeon hole.
To relieve his constipation was his immediate goal.
I do not like the taste of zucchini,
so might I please suggest
we have instead fettuccini?
That dish has zest!
Zucchini is considered a veggie
very healthful for you,
but I’d rather get a wedgie
than eat that poo!
Baked in cakes or bread, it tastes good to me.
Sweet is better than raw.
Eating it plain should be
against the law!

Private rustic dwelling ancient orchard
Leg of lamb with apricots and raisins
Saffron rice salad walnut oil dressing
Ambergris fragrance stroked his cheek
Long dress white linen steam pressed
Pristine white card Dark suit bodyguard
Highly polished rosewood dining table
Red stripes of traffic lights in the night
Spoon twirling fettuccini around his fork
Windows looking out onto the city lights
Walls covered with cabinets of books
Cosy cuddles piles of crushed clothing
Midsummer bonfire white-hot energy
Skin glistening sweat traced a circle.
