Caff�� Florian: Intruder Alert
��

Little Miss JennyPop, as most people know,
Longed to revisit 18thC. Venice; she was always ready to go.
��
So to Caff�� Florian, the oldest in the world - 1720 - she did flock.
For this Italian adventure, naturally, she packed her most Verdi-inspired frock.
��
On a rainy, Veneto night, into Florian they fled,
Sipping famed Florian brandy and espresso, JennyPop and her belov-ed.
��
Taking in a glistening, empty, St. Mark's Square,
The two shared an Enlightenment moment, looking quite the pair.
��
When down plopped next to them, a policeman and his wife,
An L.A. County sheriff and his clangorous, chatty lass, instantly spoke ad nauseam, all about their life.
��
Like a boom in the shot, a fly in the wine,
They guffawed and gamboled too loudly, far from sublime.
��
We got two babies back in Big Bear! Do you know it?
I sure do love my babies ... the wife hesitated a bit.
��
Buuuuut? JennyPop prompted.
It sure is nice to get away sometimes, she admitted. Isn't it?
��
Leave me alone. Please exit my reveries.
This is my time, my moment, to experience the Seventeen-Twenties.
��
I don't really like people, JennyPop awkwardly blurted.
Fortunately, to her more affable half, the convo quickly reverted.
��
If one day you see JennyPop, lost in historical daydreams,
in a museum, cathedral or historic caff��,
Feel free to chat with her, quietly, then, please, go away.
