289 - My name is Antonionioni

My name is Antonionioni,
Although onions are not my favourite food;
I do, however, like macaroni,
Spaghetti, Pavarotti, sculptured nude.
I ain’t Italian, in no gangster feud,
But like John Bunyan, I wanna progress
Uphill, though it’s hard, though people are rude,
Not wallow in the mud, not make a mess.
I couldn’t follow the sun, I confess,
But laid low, hibernated, and only
Emerged now and then, when I felt the mood,
And read and listened hard for happiness.
My smiling skeleton’s oh so bony;
He stays thin despite all that I’ve accrued.
