Poetry in the Naive Style

 artwork in the "naive" style by Guido Vedovato




do-re-mi / a-b-c
Grandpop 'neath an olive tree

Austria / Italy / doesn't matter
Guido pup / he's growing fatter

Grandpop's knuckles / big times three
sweetest child on earth / it's me

i pet the dog / i twirl on toes
braids go flying / tied with bows

Grandpop please / just one tune more
play the song / i most adore

    "sweetest child on earth. it's me"! Oh, no need to work on that kind of self esteem! I laughed with delight.

    What special memories. I can see you with pigtails flying, firmly convinced you were the sweetest child on earth!! .....and, by the way, you still are!
