Morning Coffee with Signor Bialetti

 

Wreckage is everywhere, two apple trees down

Limbs and leaves and litter, shingles and wood

The lawns are white with shoals of springtime hail

The lines are down and the power is out

 

But Signor Bialetti from Italy

A super-hero in aluminum

Is pleased to take his place on the camping stove

Twirl his moustache and stride through Sterno fire

 

Singing songs from his favorite libretti

While making us coffee – O brave Signor Bialetti!
