A better place to live.

I tell my Italian true love that I'm a philosophic Athenian. Rather than a Spartan. That I enjoy the finer things in life. In keeping with the ways of a true blue Athenian. I shun the worst of America. By leaving Minnesota for six months every year. To come to Italy. To live with her. That allows me to savor the best of Italy. Mainly, my true love. And now I get a bonus. She arrives tomorrow. To spend the rest of summer with me. In Minnesota. Ah, an Italian import. Makes America a better place to live. --Jim Broede
