An Invitation to Dinner (after Catullus 13)

Youse'll eat good, Fabio, wit' yours truly.
and just a few a da guys - if da Gods smile onya for once -
if ya bring da fixins yourself, da food,
a shiny, white skinned broad
and booze and jokes and a lotta laughs.
If ya bring alla this, my goomba friend
youse will eat damn fine, cos your Cesare's
billfold is full a nothin' but bugs.
On da udder hand, youse will be feelin' joy
- or whutevah is more soo-av-e and elegant -
cos I'll bring some perfume my gal
got from Veneri and Putti on 4th and Vine
when ya smell it you'll ask God above
to make you, Fabby-o, into all nose.
