Be too often penned,
That all good things
Must have an end,
Though I’ll dispute
Be desolate defend,
Of pliable compute
Serves but to fend,
Want bold resolve
Sufficient so to care,
Find place beyond
Fashions such its fare,
That all good things
Be an ne’er need end affair!

Poetry on a canapé 
Ah, how lovely, especially in light of it being written in Italia.
Thanks Paulette… I must say that Italia is truly an inspirational place to write, with its magnificent cultural, architectural and artistic history, all in constant evidence by its people’s welcoming charm. I should add, that the great Italian food and extraordinary wine does play an important part in that charm.
