Who thought he was an ace at tennis
He missed every shot
An ace he was not
He is now a Gondolier in Venice...

I was thrilled to what the handsome gondolier wore
black and white striped shirt, straw hat,
red bow dripping off back of hat….
like Sophia Loren films from the sixties...

Dedicated to a Nun that was raped by a Hindu gang in Orrisa in India.

Bondage dawdles but dauntless rambler.
Glimmers as goblin a goblet gambler.
A heartburn glory chalks a chandelier.
A granite lineage outdistanced gondolier.

Responsive restitution a splitter sponger,
Guttural estuary grumbles bounded cavalier.
A bony strangled receptacle receiver,
Keynote bolted storm violate believer....

Romantic gondolier loved his job, listening to giggling.
So many bunnies got engaged on his watch, on his ride.
These two had tails that could not stop wiggling.
Adorable the way they leaned into each other, side by side.

The bunnies forgot the gondolier was on the boat today.
They had not seen each other forever and another day.
Both in service to their country, assignments far away,
They got engaged in the typical love bunny way....

Indianapolis welcomes you.
Navigate, find your place, sailing through
synthetic waterway just for fun.
Off’ring journeys with anecdotes,
carriages, kayaks and pedal boats
worthwhile way to enjoy snow or sun.

We'll park your vehicle, while you fete
with friends, fam'ly, or special date.
Hire out a gondolier; he can hunt 
for local sites, you don't want to miss -
hideaways where you can reminisce,
use Indy’s canal at Riverfront.
