Al Capon Pizza Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Al Capon Pizza

At the time my in law
-worked in the bowl pizza
-the place was great
-a part of history
-of lawless Chicago
-the worst time in moral

With spoon I had mine
-then drank margarita
-and heard of background
-sad, super story was best part

Lawyer owned the place
-was Jewish and smart
-had reason to invest
-in brand and place
-Pizza? Bowl?
-Al Capon?

Woman accountant was blonde
-trusted manager Pakistan's
-the two had relations
-girlfriend, boyfriend
-hand in hand, united
-both stole and cheated

I was sure that lawyer
-was aware, little cared
-acted as not knowing
-hidden was in place
-his best of benefit

Short sighted, stupid
-must have been the young kids
-the girl and the boy who
-could have made a lot more,
-had they been right, honest…
-would join as partners…

But this is how world is
-thief, corrupt are mindless
