Limerick-Uke-Saga: "ITALIAN TREATS", with a supplement

A SINGABLE SAGA, derived from limerick lyrics


ORIGINAL SONG: F
or this post, we will use the melody for the verses of the 1960 hit "
The Anniversary Song", as explained HERE.

PARODY COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio, 2017.

POETRY-LYRICS: The lyrics were originally composed in limerick format and submitted to OEDILF, an online humour dictionary, by Giorgio Coniglio in 2017. They can be found published as a blogposted poem on, "DAILY ILLUSTRATED NONSENSE". Click HERE.
 























SUPPLEMENT: MORE ITALIAN TREATS

SONGLINK (note in followup): As of February 2018, another Italian song with Giorgio's substituted lyrics about Italian food can be found on this blog -- see "Filastrocca: PISA'S LEAN TRATTORIA" (set to the classic tune of "Santa Lucia"). 

Readers may be delighted to find some more singable limericks about Italian treats, provided here as a free supplement to today's offerings!

For better or worse, the verses below have been set to music using the standard "Limerick Song". 












WORDPLAY LINK: Folks who enjoyed these song might also be keenly interested in the posts on our wordplay-and-poetry blog Edifying Nonsense entitled "The Culinary World Explored With Palindromes", and "Limericks about Food Intolerance".
