She admires the gondolier/
That much is abundantly clear./
She has viewed him from aft/
And he’s driving her daft:/
(Gondoliers are best viewed from the rear.)///
With what vigor he’s plying his pole/
Such power, combined with control/
The gang on the Lido/ Call him “Il Torpedo”/
And he perfectly suits the role..///
But she’ll probably always remain/
Profoundly sedate and sane/
For the climate of Venice/
To some is a menace/
But she is a sensible Dane.
