Our Man in Europe/ragazzimento no 12: FIVE EASY RAGAS...


RAGA No 1:  "HOW IT'S MADE" (in Italian: Comme E fatto): BRITISH PEACOCK

First? You have to impregnate a female/buxom wench. If THAT goes well, the embryo of "said product" will develop. After-birth, which MOST "said products" ARE, come with 1 - to - 5 - senses. Some FINE tuning during the first 15 years of existence - which should include, regimentation, religious and political brain-washing/wealthier families have the option of sending "said product"  to a private school  (ETON, HARROW, RODEAN) where a full course in same-gender SEX can be firmly embedded.
Further development AND REFINEMENT of "said product" can then be presented, at Court, or  in "decent" society.
Relax. LATHE MACHINES, drills, electric shocks (lobotomy) can be administered later, should "said product"  either NOT incline to heterosexuality, NOT go into Banking, the Diplomatic Corps, Politics, shows NO FLAIR for mingling with JEWS, MUSLIMS, INDUS or the landed gentry of America - who ALWAYS go by the name of KENNEDY or HUEY P. LONG -both of Irish descent...?
LASTLY? -keep "said product"  STRICTLY AWAY from Buddhists, Scientologists and HARI-KHRISTNA types;
......And THAT...is how it's made.



RAGA No. 2: FAT MARGOT -apres Francois Villion

Her name was LILLY OF THE VALLEY and I loved her, loved her so. She RAN OFF with a "techie" and left me all so low.
So? My NEW love, QUEEN MARGOT (Oak-aged, blended Scotch whisky, €4.99 a bottle) keeps me warm at night;
Her name was Lilly of the Valley, and I loved her, loved her so.

Her name was Lilly of the Valley; wonder where she's gone? We are FRIENDS on Myspace, but NOT on Facebook, amongst her FRIENDS I count as ONE (No Twitter).
Do I ever get a Card/E-mail? JEEZE! NO SUCH LUCK.
And whilst Queen Margot keeps me warm at night, she's NO good for a...................... (reader must create final expletive)
...Her name was Lilly of the Valley...and I loved her, loved her so.



RAGA No. 3: "...A SHEEP or a LAMB."


Our MAN in Singapore (SJ.esq.), as of late,  been giving me good career advice:

1) SLAVERY is not ALL that it's cut out to be. (getting a job)

2) GRIFTING can BE lucrative though there is always the possibility of retribution.

3) The THREE CARD TRICK only works for about 10 minutes.

4) Whisky'll make a blind man sing the blues!

5) Do NOT go on the DAVE LETTERMAN "talk-show"!

6) Always invite ALL the Paparazzi into your home for cocktails.

7) Also, invite Johnny Depp.

8) The THREE CARD TRICK only works for 10 minutes.

9) If I see YOU AND MY EX-WIFE at the MOTEL 6 AGAIN!? -I'll kill you!

10) Do you know the way to San Jose?
..........

DARN! I may as well be HUNG for killing a sheep as a lamb, or a lamb as a sheep (whatever!) -I'm going on the "TALK SHOW!"...:)


RAGA No. 4: CORSO

MINK COAT on a bicycle, struggles on by. Some lady with two bambinos in-tow, remonstrates: "Wait till your father gets home!"
Lorenzo (Street Accordion player) he just waltzes down the Corso. Dogs barking, fishmongers selling, sun peeks out; belladonna's walk on by: Sitting at the World Cafe-Salvatore serving up the tapas and vino: I fail to SCREAM, but dream...:)

RAGA No. 5:  Pride

She did not give just wot she ought, she never said "I'm true!" (her spelling was atrocious!) She lived and DIED yet the World decides; to carve her name with pride.
A 1,000 ships went sailin' out, with MEN all brave and true; something bespoke, a lion's ROAR, we carve her name with pride.
And Paris, Ajax, ALL those cats, Achilles, too, who died ...for one and all? No tears are shed. The blood's been bled; we carve her name with pride; we carve her name with pride.
