With thanks and apologies to Fugwozzle and his Large Sicilian Family on the Metric Board.

<u>The Dream of Michael Corleone</u>

I want an inoffensive family -
not too large or small -
no obvious ethnicity;
ideally, none at all.

My cousins, uncles, aunts and I
will meet on holidays
to dine on slabs of apple pie,
white bread and mayonnaise.

The men play cards for chewing gum
The women do the dishes
If some gavone asks where we're from,
he'll soon sleep with the fishes.


Michael
