(Piacenza) Take 8: LA GRANDE FESTA!

Take 8: La Grande Festa!

Act 1: Moretti, Minestrone & Me...

Like the 3 Stooges?...Moretti (beer), Minnie whats-her-name? -and ME sit, once again...together.

We,re all outta Paprika & Curry powder-friends.
They went chasing off to Oregano... And as for Cumin?
...We dont mention her name.

Tarragon pops by, once n a while.
Marsala?
Always a great friend, though (of late?) rarely seen.

Lentils & Cannelini; visit...off & on.

Tumeric?
I cant get rid of her. She stains everything I own.
Still?
I have "amici" Onion & Garlic.
(I miss Ginger a whole lot! Cinnamon, too!)

....And so, socially? -I,m like YOU; life? - Ja-ja! - is a Stew.

But I DO have a clean whte table cloth...bearing a sparkling white platter & "almost" silver cutlery, plus! -soft lighting & mellow "Rat Pack" tra-la-la!

I take my seat with Vino Bianco/Rossi...bi-polar AND spend-thrift though she is (always cheap BUT in the Ecconmy size) ...and THEE "plat du jour";
(probably Minnestrone)

I guess i,m stuck with HER!

Still.
I gotta Moretti beer on standby. A "Mcdounes", 3 year old Scotch... stashed under the couch, somplace.
The Music in my head? The Poetry we must write?
And, yes: You, too.

So now? Why dont you join me in a (song) walking blues?

WHISKY BLIND MAN WALKIN BLUES:

"Whisky,ll make a blind man
Sing the blues.
Nobody,s gonna love you
Wthout no shoes.
I,m gonna get on back to Memphis
If I,m ever compass-senses;
Whisky,ll make blind man
Sing the blues.


Dont you ever talk NO reason
Baby-girl
Micro-manage, at the dentist
Leave me Cool
I need a haircut & a White cane
Not kisses full of Novocaine
Dont you EVER talk no reason
Baby-girl-


If you see me down in Paris
Say: "Bonjour!"
I gotta suitcase & a guitar
As a rule.
They dont teach this stuff in College;
Bring that apple to the teacher!
If you see me down in Paris?
Say, "Adieu"

(last verse)


Whsky,ll make a blind man;
Go South.
I got it, first hand,
Mouth to mouth.
Loves heaven has NO season,
Leastways? -wthout a reason;
Whisky, blind man?
...Sing the Blues"


(dedicato: Count Clay von Cabe, Viceroy of Akansas & Princess Sarah B. -hugs!...:)
