13,181. MAY HAVE LEFT THIS

MAY HAVE LEFT THIS
I went to Rome, to seek my
fortune, and all I got was the
clap. Romulus and Remus held
nothing back as they lent me
their sister, Fornicata, and I
was grateful of that.
-
Life seems so simple when the
sheets are all white and the bed's
always made and each window
has a most-perfect window shade.
-
Within five days, I was in an
intemperate vice; the Carabinieri
were everywhere, covering me  -
long guns and rifles, making no,
sense, did their dance along walls
doorways. I felt frozen, and
could not move.
-
Then they told me 'That's the way
it always goes to new visitors in
Rome. The secret's in the cooking;
taste is better left at home.'
