No pease porridge for me if you please
neither hot nor cold
especially not if what's in the pot
is nine days old
for when in Parma Palermo or Pisa
(no pottage slop)
I'm predisposed and have the propensity
to pour a potent potable
(pink plonk)
and prefer to partake of a piece of pepperoni pizza
with pancetta pomodoro peperoncini
porcini plus a peck of pecorino on the top
even the penchant for a piccante prosciutto panini
or pass me a plate of penne puttanesca
with the proclivity for a platter of pinoli pesto
possibly pasta with parmesan
and I'm pleased to wine and dine al fresco
Macaroni, dipped in Castiglioni.
Consuelo found Castiglioni.
Consuelo played Panini with Fineldo.
Marni and Panini, graced by Consuelo and Fineldo.
We once owned a little mutt named Genie
on occasion we called her Genie Panini
we tried not to feed her table scraps n' stuff
but then again, I had her heart on my cuff
so once in a while, we gave her little bits
to keep at bay her continuous barking fits
Each night hubby would eat a bowl of cheerio
while watching T.V. or listening to the stereo
Genie watched intently eyes peeled to the bowl
the ritual worked well, for she never stole
he gave her 1, there was nothing she could do
so she crunched it while she lay beside his shoe
One day hubby went to answer the door and left
Genie hopped on the couch and left him bereft
she ate all the cheerios but she did leave him one
when he returned he saw an empty bowl no fun
He'd been outsmarted by a funny little Shih Tzu
with Pomeranian smack, who knew what to do.
Moral of the story: Never trust a dog, when it comes to food.

Arty stuff No 10
That artistic Italian Belinni,
Once ordered a toasted panini,
He was sitting alone,
But he started to moan,
As his sausage was only a weenie!
she curses him
with
insults and curses
she speaks ill of him
and makes him target
in her verses
she screams to curse
and speaks to unravel
and her mind is sultled with shame
she wishes to undermind
and singles out parts
to cause him guilt and shame
make those who hinder more attractive
than we can have un tunting to tease
than like an animal
we'll stalk our prey
and bring him down to his knee's!
Between the clouds
An Aryaa floats
A heavenly being
eating a panini
Munch much munch
she eats it loud
the crumbs drop
onto Milly's face
Milly cried
Aryaa laughed
Aryaa hit Milly with her panini
Milly ran.
This was my dream
A special dream
We will all be friends
forever.
