We're all familiar with limericks, which often have a ribald flavor, but the flavor I've been thinking of comes from a divine Italian dish made with pastry and potatoes.
My favorite Italian’s Bocelli,
his singing does things to my belly.
I also love gnocci,
my tastes are not low-key,
but Italy’s too far for my deli.
Gnocci’s name comes from nocca, or knuckles,
when you eat it, you’ll loosen your buckles.
Barcelona’s a place
where you will stuff your face,
and can do so without raising chuckles.
In Milan there is also great gnocci,
not found in Japan's Nagasaki:
Sukiyaki’s their dish,
you can have it with fish.
Go to Greece if you hanker souvlaki.
