Even After That!
After you pull yourself away from their looks.
When you can stop admiring their upbringing.
If you pause from thanking God for their being.
After the lines and the crowds
and the waiting and the anticipation.
Way after your heart has filled to capacity.
Later, when you’ve reveled in the feelings of love,
happiness
and devotion.
When you take away the endless playfulness that is Ignazio,
the gleam in Gianluca’s eyes,
the smile on the perfect lips of Piero.
After you wipe that smile off your own face.
There’s still the music.

Ode Yes I Did!

Ode To My License Plates
O’ My License Plates, I love you so,
There you are, everywhere I go.
In summer I’ll find you a shady tree.
I think the “I” just winked at me.
In winter I’ll swiftly brush off the snow.
Won’t let it stay on an “L” or an “O”.
Each year you’ll have a new sticker too.
Gently applied – Would I hurt you?
In the evening I’ll kiss your vowels good night
and make sure each and every bolt is tight.
Don’t mean to brag, but look at that “L”.
It’s tall and straight and proud as hell.
Jealous cars passing by will see
the love I have for that handsome “V”.
Some states would have only one of you.
How lucky am I? Ohio has two.

The Tale of the Il Volo Flight Crew
I have had several emails lately asking how and why this website was formed and why it became popular so quickly (Yay!). Well…
The Tale of the Il Volo Flight Crew
Once upon a time five (not so) little girls were very happy.
They smiled and had fun all day.
They talked and talked to their friends on the computer.
They mostly talked about 3 Italian boys.
Then one day the website stopped working.
The five (not so) little girls thought it was broken.
They tried and tried to have it fixed,
but no one could fix the broken website.
The five (not so) little girls were very sad.
They cried and they cried.
(Not so) little Kelly sobbed, “What can we do?”
“Well, we could make our own website,”
sniffed (Not so) little Michele.
They thought their idea was a good one.
So, one day they asked their (not so) little friends,
Elaine, Linda and Marie to help make
a new place to play and talk.
And so they did.
They named the new site
“Il Volo Flight Crew ~ Share the Love.”
Then they invited all of their other friends
to the new site.
And they all came.
Now they talk every day and they talk every night.
They still mostly talk about 3 Italian boys.
They are all happy again.
The End
That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.

By The Way! Happy 5 Year Anniversary Boys!!!
Take Me With You!
They’ve been to Russia
without me keeping them warm.
They performed and came back
still full of charm.
They’re heading for Australia
and China too.
They don’t need me there either
What’s a fan to do?
There’s Europe and
South America to tour.
I’d help with their luggage.
I’d even do more.
I’d cook Spaghetti in the Serengeti
and lasagna in Spain.
I’d bake cookies in Africa
in the pouring rain.
I’d wash their clothes with a hose
in the Poconos
and clean their room with a broom
in Rangoon.
So, take me with you Gianluca
I’ll take pics to rule the masses.
Let me go Piero
I’ll happily clean your glasses.
I’ll be there Ignazio
I’m never out of reach.
I’m even up for
brushing your teeth.
Yep, I’d cook and I’d clean
I’d be there for you.
I’d even make everyone
elephant stew.
