capistrano blues

THE CAPISTRANO BIRDS
An Ode that would lend itself to Oratorios
By Izzy Ess of Fuzziness

It seems to me, in Napoli, the Capistrano
Birds return much earlier
Than usual.  Last year, they re-appeared
In prima vera, while this year they re-
Appeared in February, while the snow
Was yet around.  The songs of Naples were
Rehearsed by Il Castrato y Il Romeo.
Our Julietta was engaged in other
Things, like mucking out the stables and
Re-servicing, re-surfacing and re-
Arranging stable boys.  Ms. Julietta’s
Mother, Maude Sophia was entranced
By Mister Marshall Mastroianni from
The north of Tuscany who took her out
On horseback and he showed her how to ride
Undressed and also bareback, in the barn,
On Saturdays.  The Capistrano Blue
Birds won the Stanley Epstein Cup that year
And proved to be the champions, as called.
The women who came down were sore appalled.

THE END
