"AT TABLE ... Let's drink; but let's drink in moderation.../ One glass... or two.../ Otherwise, to avoid blame,/ we'll say... the wine was watered down.../ And the innkeeper won't respect us anymore! /. . . . . . .// ... And if someone drops on the tablecloth/ some glass of wine,/ the one nearby,/ eye to eye, would sprinkle salt on it.../ Because otherwise the stain... won't come out anymore!"

Rocco Galdieri

Poet - Journalist • Italy • 19th century
