Lilly In Sicily Poem by John Sensele

A coy boy with a clean basin full of fritters treks
Kilometers on foot pleads profusely for a prospect
To buy a dry fritter and fly a few kopecks
Into the boy's toy kitty with no ditty to introspect
At home in Rome where hunger looms large and meals
Invite a respite from a few sombre members to feed
At a time when despite flight efforts through skills and deals
Every family member for progress's sake produces reels to plead
For a long term solution and action to the family's thrift
Lasting longer than expected and getting on the nerves
Frayed, betrayed and strayed in a scramble city due to a shift
In emphasis in a bogus locus modus operandi that serves
To highlight blight lacunae identified and verified earlier and treated
Casually in billy Sicily till Lilly rather chilly bloated.
