Love, Brazilian Style

My wife loves Italian food!  In fact, she says, "I may not be not Italian, but I'd be willing to convert!"  But for Valentine's Day in 2000, instead of Italian, I decided to take her out for a Brazilian feast.  Here is the poem on her invitation.

DIA DOS ENAMORADOS
Copyright 2011 by Roger B. Stone

You've often confessed that you'd like to convert,
But just for tonight, Dear, that plan we’ll subvert.
We’re staying away from all things Neopolitan,
But don’t worry none, we’ll still go cosmopolitan. 

But….

It’ll be vinho tinto instead of chianti,

And caipirinhas, not asti spumanti.

Tonight it’s churrasco and not scaloppini,

And a nice feijoada, replacing linguine.

So….

This Valentine’s Day we’ll be dining in style,

To that great samba beat that makes everyone smile.

And with someone we love, and with food we adore,

Tonight “mio amore” will be “meu amor”!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, SWEETHEART!!!!!
