Rome-Antic Dinner

Have you had a dinner overlooking Rome?
A quiet, garden setting, where you two are alone?

Darkened bushes, candlelit table, with tiny lights all aglow,
romanticize the setting, as we all know.
 
Start with a glass of a fine red wine,
aged just right, and sweet as the vine.

A little Antipasto is what I certainly would say,
Cheeses, Salami, Pepperoni, and Flatbreads all go a long way. 

A Caesar Salad prepared at your table side and done, 
by a young Brazzi look alike, with a certainty of perfection.
 
The glass of a fine white wine will next set the pace,
changing the evening, while staying in place.
 
The Entree ordered is a delicious Piece of Sole,
large enough to share, baked to its flaky goodness in whole.

Asparagus Spears, Broccoli, or Italian Beans simmered with soy,
could all be accepted as Side Dishes with our fish to enjoy.

Tiramisu for her, Creme Brule' for me with its golden crown,
with an Ice Wine to wash these tasty Desserts down.

Then a Latte or Cappuccino might just do,
with some Creme Sherry to finish the mood.

A short romantic walk to the Trevi 'neath Rome's idyllic moon,
means that our dinner has ended all too soon. 

Our "Special Evening" however, is only done,
When we later make love to each other...uniting as one.
