Breakfast with a breathtaking view: <br />Tuscan hills, Val d’Orcia, but most of all: you. <br /> <br />A strangely cute but short of cuddly <br />Underwater aqua-vac <br />Patrolling the pool deep end and back <br />Like some scuba-puppy on a long leash. <br /> <br />Cursing at every corner our hire car <br />Whose windscreen frame seemed <br />So absurdly wide at the side <br />It’d hide a ten-ton Italian truck: <br />More ‘See it No-No’ than Fiat Bravo. <br /> <br />Playing ‘Hunt the Ospedale’, <br />‘Dov’e Doctore? ’, <br />‘Trouvare la Pharmacia’: <br />‘Medicino in Montalcino’. <br />‘Good Game. Good Game’ <br />As Bruce Forsyth might say….. <br />Not! <br /> <br />Finally to the winery: Brunello di Banfi and Fontanella, <br />Served by Antonnella, Daniella and Francesca.<br /><br />Tony Jolley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/odd-bits-of-today/
