Florence Oct. 7 and 8


Hilltop villages watch the tourists


Playing Lemonde drivers
Eager to reach the stazione
And travel into the world of Medici.
The rooming house atop Faenza 
Waits for Sue, Milla, Linda, and Rob
But so does David  - marble miracle
At 15 feet peering over with heart eyes.



Duomo’s gold ball watches over all
Rob seaches for Carravaggio
Sue leads Linda and Milla on tour
Michelangelo appears at every corner.
Capacchino on the terrace
Helps us all with the leather choices
Pigeons blend at every footstep
Reflections glimmer on the Ponte Vecchio.
Pills delay our Medici chapel resting
Revolving toilets relieve our gastronomic pleasures
As we face the belligerent Italian.
Poggobonsi back to Volterra’s valley at last.
