[THE EXERCISE OF SATIRE THROUGH THE METRIC OF THE NURSERY RHYME]
As naughty as the wind, the ''blind of Sorrento''.
One circle for the barrel and one for the wine
draws water to his mill.
What a disaster, what a flood,
will it be Etna or Vesuvius?
Early minstrel playing the mandola.
The unrepentant Topo Gigio is Neptune with the trident.
It will be false it will be true,
who is the Woman of Mystery
who marries Jesus in the monastery?
The hag is in a puddle,
the mozzarella arrives by carriage.
Topo Gigio is impertinent, his crush is harmful:
loves risk and ricotta!
Poor guy is under guard.
''Don't betray me black sea''
don't turn me into Calimero!
What a tragedy, what a misfortune,
even the tapir escaped to the moon.
The cursed hag continued her revenge.
''You are nothing but a sloth,
you are and will remain my slave.
There is an egg for you
from the crooked hag.
The hag is contagious
he is truly a black soul.
Poor ''Cristi'' his pawns,
she is the swindling march
sends them to war as infantry:
by envy consumed, by fools praised,
the psychopathic hag!
''You must not publish it
intimate to his ''rats'' his jesters.
No, not her!
It hurt
she wasn't fooled,
no, not her, on your portal!
Close and darken the other ''door''
leave me a big break.
My heart is too bitter,
be my donkey too!
Play your cards well
I know you like ''milk''.
My face as a sole
I will give you my daughter.
I love your tail wagging
with my verse you must go.
Cast your line too,
I am the nun from ''Monza''.
I decide your fate, play your cards well:
obey or it's blackmail!
I made a big mistake
I will soon be his target.
It reduces us to darkness
his dress is LIGHT!
