Make Them An Offer They Can’t Refuse Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Mi Scusi, Mi Scusi, the courts of Genoa,
I beg you your pardon,
What is wrong with Friday?
Mama Mia songs are about the hits that were recorded by the Swedish group ABBA,
Abba is God but not in their case,
ABBA was an acronym for their surnames.
The little boy was named after a Nordic Goddess,
Rather than: Pilot Inspector, Brooklyn, Phinnaeus,
Banjo, Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Moxie CrimeFighter,
Eulala, Daisy Boo, Poppy Honey,
Audio Science, Aurelius, Dweezil, Moon Unit, Ahmet and Diva.
A little transgender misidentification if you ask me.
“What about names Luigi and Mario? ”
“Who will be the Godfather, Shigeru Miyamoto? ”
The court asked the parents.
“Thursday” they replied.
