Nearly all the Soap Operas in the UK have a pub for the characters to discus and moan about their love problems. Not in my pub they don’t. Start a conversation with “I’ve got a problem with my love life” and you would be on your own. If any advice was on offer it would go some like this.

Now don’t yer go a’looking backwards
What’s done is done, the die is cast
No good can come of ponderation
It’s over now it’s gorn and past
~
There’s a’doings out there to be done
No good staring at the wall
Finking things you auter done
That’s no bloody good at all
~
You ad it made with Mary Jane
A luvley canny gel
Yer dumped er for that scrawny malt
Who made life a bloody hell
~
So get a grip and loosen up
And get your arse in gear
The moving fingers bloody rit
Now go and git the beer.

Big smiles, Cari! Brilliant I would say. The only Italian soap opera I watch sometimes has indeed a café, where all the characters seem to spend a lot of time to share their dramas ... and I noticed that drinks remain always mostly untouched while they chat and chat on ... so you are right "get that beer!". Sometimes I wonder what else will they invent ... but all in all it is pure boredom!

Instead, your poem is very vivid and cute.
