Vacation, eh? Anything poetry-related? (Pictures Occhi at a regional, or perhaps national, Limerick competition)
There once was a poet named Occhi
Who liked to eat ziti and gnocchi
He wrote poems (quite in vogue)
About sexy young rogues
And their dashing pursuits in the noche.
Hmm, not quite there. I hope you like potato pasta, I'm not a big fan myself but there aren't a lot of rhyming words to work with ;) .
And, I had to add a spanish word at the end. It's a pretty widely known word (noche), but still Spanish, Italian (food) and English is one too many languages for a poem. What's Italian for "night" anyway? (If it's "nocchi" it would fit perfectly).
(I should have known better than to dabble in Limerickry in a thread with the master). :)
