Just a bit of nonsense in a world that makes absolutely no sense.
| LO SQUALO TOTI SCIALOJA Per saltar di palo in frasca, vi dirò che amo la pesca, ho uno squalo nella vasca, schizza l’acqua, fa burrasca: spero bene che non esca. | THE SHARK TOTI SCIALOJA Off on a tangent, rambling, I’ll say I adore fishing, I’ve a shark in the tub, bathing, he’s making a mess, splashing, I sure hope he won’t be escaping Translation©Matilda Colarossi 2025 |
The rhyme is from the book L’ippopota disse:«Mo», Mondadori, 1990
