~ PIZZA ~
P- Piping hot, pungently brought directly to your
alabaster cloth covered table.
I- Italian, intoxicating, heady aroma, I eat all that
I am physically able.
Z- Zestfully, I first sip some beautiful, heady, imported
chilled, Italian Chianti.
Z- Zealously, I eat it all, as for pizza, there is no food
that bewitching that makes a body so mighty.
A- Affection to Italy's gift to the planet, I say "Grazie per Pizza",
that makes this planet ever so sweet and totally smiley!

Baltimore Colts Gino Marchetti started the show.
He opened a chain of restaurants everybody would know.
I remember your slogan from a few decades ago.
It said that your eateries were “the place to go”.
Buildings with a pointed red roof we would all recognize.
Your specialties were fried chicken, burgers, and fries.
In your commercials, there were many celebrities;
we saw Soupy Sales, Muhammad Ali, and Dom DeLuise.
Well, those fast food places are now history.
When the company sold out, they vanished from the vicinity.
Well, times have changed, and the restaurants are back.
The express train is once again running on the track.
In Pennsylvania and Maryland, a few places would appear.
Some more will be springing up next year.
These new spots are better than the ones back then.
It’s good to see your restaurants operating again.
