Premium Member Al Dente

A lady in sunny Rimini,
told the chef she wanted zucchini.
She finished her meal,
then said, with some zeal;
“I love, sir, a firm bucatini.”

Al Dente

To
reek
of blouse 
sweat. Kindle
inanity like
living room fire, mothers in
coarse grain. Steeped in organic growth. Saturday’s swelled yeast.

Picking a Pasta

Eeny meeny capellini,
Ziti, elbows, bucatini.
Vermicelli, farfalloni,
Gnocchi, orzo, rigatoni.

Alfabeto and linguine,
Cavatelli, fettuccine.
Penne, pappardelle and gigli,
Stelle, risi, tripolini.

Picking pasta gives you choices;
Any way, your mouth rejoices.
Think I'll go and boil me some - 
If it's cooked al dente - yum!

500 Pounds of Pasta

Along a Jersey creek, somebody
Made a crazy find – 
500 pounds of pasta had been 
Somehow left behind.

Whoever dumped the noodles
(Mainly elbows and spaghetti)
Isn’t known, but word got out and
There was lots of wordplay ready.

“Pastabilities were endless,”
Was reported and, as well,
“The perpetrators need
The penne-tentiary,” I heard tell.

My favorite was the mastermind
Whose capture is the aim.
Though it might be just an alias,
Al Dente is his name.
