Non-Erotic PoetryEarly Renaissance Men Having GrappaThey had paper before we did, Aldo,
but their calligraphy, such as it is,
lacks Giotto's linear perspective.
Furthermore, we have our basilicas
and I my plenary indulgences
as well as Clement's handwritten promise
of absolution should commerce inspire
a second imbroglio with Sforza.
But what can we do? We have to offset
Our tithing to His Holiness, don't we?
And why don't those little yellow men know
the Silk Road like all roads must lead to Rome?

I don't know whether amusement is the appropriate or expected response to your poem, but I cannot stem the tide of chuckles. I shake my head at the arrogance, the sense of entitlement, and the unvarnished greed evinced in the speaker's words here, so typical of men such as he! A very interesting dramatic monologue, sir! I like it! :)
I have to say I also like the critique of the Roman (Catholic) Empire implicit in this poem, too. The history-lover in me is quivering with excitement! LOL!more...
