Shel Silverstein's "Italian Food"

Every Thing On It (HarperCollins, 2011)

Italian Food

Oh, how I love Italian food.

I eat it all the time,

Not just 'cause how good it tastes

But 'cause how good it rhymes.

Minestrone, cannelloni,

Macaroni, rigatoni,

Spaghettini, scallopini,

Escarole, braciole,

Insalata, cremolata, manicotti,

Marinara, carbonara,

Shrimp francese, Bolognese,

Ravioli, mostaccioli,

Mozzarella, tagliatelle,

Fried zucchini, rollatini,

Fettuccine, green linguine,

Tortellini, Tetrazzini,

Oops—I think I split my jeani.

I love Shel. "The Missing Piece" was the deal sealer with Larry.

And Bless Eva, Sally and Erin for ridding me of the Evil Ravioli Eye.
