World Pasta Day

Remembrance Of Things Pasta

She blew her fusilli,
my pretty penne,

when she found me watching
daytime tagliatelle.

Je ne spaghetti rien,
I responded in song,

but she did not linguini
for long,

just walked out
without further retort:

a hard lesson to be tortellini,
orzo I thought.

And so here I am
on my macaroni

and now my days
feel cannelloni.

That is a great one! I always wonder where you get the inspiration.

Like usual, I did not know about pasta day. I love pasta but I do have to suffer the consequences of eating them. I have to add an extra biking hour to my schedule and that is why I only eat pasta twice a day.

Mamma mia, quella dannata pasta mi fa delle cose 😱
