As all roads lead to Rome
(if not home)
and when there
I do as the Romans do
and pasta alla carbonara
is my favourite meal
not scallopini veal
could not have too much
pork on my fork
and as a kid for the nonce
received the nickname
'Bacon Bonce'
but when in Spain
my brain remains
mainly on a higher plane
(the mountain)
where I enjoy Jamón Serrano
(como el paisano)
produced with a quality guarantee
under the strict control
of and labeled
Consorcio del Jamón Serrano Español
Missing sunbeams' warmth the heart arteries were frozen
soliloquy came in multiple streams of words, unspoken and unsaid
the green of grass merged with the grey of crass to get a discolored ass
stood there was a parapet from which dew drops danced down dead
each reflected the world before gravity did them in
harking in the kill and well crafted suicide, they counted the sins
porking with a sock,jabs and box he slowly stymied the moment sad
she was gone and had left a world all cold,wet,faded and bad.
