No.49: Roman Sonnet ,1986

I arrived a pilgrim in the heart of Rome
Left my headaches back in Britain
Then by a Roman Love bite here I was bitten
If only the Borghese Villa were mine to own
A residential Palace bound by walls within
Paintings on ceilings and fountains so pretty
All enclosed in a modern thriving city
I would close all my gates to shut out the din
But alas! inside a curveless hotel room
My bill has set upon me like a lion from the Coliseum
For a doomed Christian , thumbs down ,you can see'em
How can I make an exit on a witches flying broom ?
Then when I have picked my self up from the floor
I would say Ciao! to the statues and come back for more!
