Abbondanza



for Mike Bormann



Abbondanza said Mama Celeste
Frozen pizza and I forget the rest
But it was on TV so I knew
As far as frozen pizza was concerned
Abbondanza was probably true
When I turned away and my thoughts returned
To life in 1968 then
Thinking about this new word I had learned

Having heard her hortatory cry
To eat a lot of frozen pizza I
Remember Mama Celeste as a guest
Of her frozen hospitality

Now I know better but remember when
Further along with mortality
To thank God for my abbondanza now
That Bud has resupplied me again
With whatever I ever need somehow
Never mind about Mama Celeste
Bud makes abbondanza reality

Grazie di cuore Bud all my best
To the best friend anybody could be

I don't quite fathom all the personal references in the poem. But I can see that your dogs are loving the change in the weather.
