In a town called Pasta.

The feud between the Linguine

and Fettuccine clan started when 

Angel hair came into town.

Besotted by her texture so smooth,

Fusilli noted she was cooked al dente.

But when Lasagne was found dead

on the floor of the kitchen by Tagliatelle;

a posse of Macaroni shells blamed Rigatoni

who sided with Fettuccine.

Later, he was found hung with the garlic.

Linguine in outrage hired the top gunslingers:

Penne, Vermicelli, Tortellini, Pappardelle,

Cannelloni, Ravioli, and Orzo

- the Magnificent Pasta Seven.

The battle was fought and won

and while the seven became five

losing Penne and Orzo,

victory was restored in the cleanup;

tomato sauce and paste were everywhere.

Meanwhile, Parmesan, a drifter looked on with Seasonings.

As for Angel hair, she fell for the Cook.

After all, it was just another

Spaghetti Western.

OMG, Andrew! This is definitely one for my library. You have more than a few great lines here, and the laughs are simply hysterical. From now on, I will forever think of this poem whenever I eat anything with tomato sauce. Much applause, my spaghetti friend! ; )

Andrew dear... the Tower of Pizza is falling for you... swaying to your overtures. Having a history of being a vegetarian... I know these characters by heart, body and soul. You could rewrite the history of Pasta... and I believe you just did. A best seller in my book. truly, Pat
