Buca de Bepo Again

Must be at least a thousand
picture frames on the walls
filled with photo's of Italian's.
Assorted movie stars, singers
and Italian cars, even dogs
and horses adorn these lightly
textured, multi-colored walls.
There's a picture of a girl
in a wedding dress happily
kicking a soccer ball.
A pictue of Rocco Granata.
Anybody remember who that is?
Sophia Loren & Gina Lollabrigida
pictures seem plentiful,
but of course my eyes
would gravitate to those.
Some of the pictures seem to
be members of the Mafia,
God knows they love to eat too.
Perry Como and Frank Sinatra
fill many of the frames,
fabulous famous Italian names.
Wonder what I'd do if I
spotted Sophia eating in
this very Restaurant?
We'd probably eat a big juicy
pile of spagetti and meatballs
with big plates of garlic bread,
wash it all down with some
fine Italian wine and a
late show before we messed
up the sheets on her bed.

It's Sophia's birthday today, dear James. 75 years and what a life career!
I think she would have enjoyed your poem too!

Love,
M
