The Verona Posers
The complete human being may be spied in Verona
On any pink limestone street
Which are indeed makeshift catwalks
And they strut in a mode rather less than discreet…
Designer bags displayed in hand,
Shades on eyes, expressions bland;
Cigarettes smoked, providing the cool,
Others employing a vaping tool;
Mobile phones studied, must not miss a trick,
Smiling at length via a selfie-stick;
Pampered pedigree dog clamped ‘neath one arm,
A cat in a pushchair, quite lacking charm;
Takeaway espresso held contemptuously at bay
And so the Verona posers assault the new day…
The complete human being is cloned in Verona’s
Beautiful, pink limestone city;
Ludicrous, nauseous and objectionable,
One feels scorn and such lamentable pity…

Sitting drinking coffee in the Piazza Brà, or the Pizza Erbe, some of the Verona posers cat-walking past were quite entertaining to behold.
One certainly couldn’t miss them…
