Monument to the poet Trilusso, in Roman dialect. Piazza Trilusso, Rome
For some fun political puns, look here
In the Shade
While I read my usual paper,
Sprawled in the shade of a [tree]
I see a pig and I say to him: “Goodbye, swine!”
I see a donkey and I say to him: “Goodbye, ass!”
Perhaps these beasts won’t understand me
But at least I have the satisfaction
Of saying things as they stand
Without fear of ending up in prison.
