Italian Pride

I AM ITALIAN

Ciao...

I'm not a construction worker, a brick layer or a school janitor.

I don't live in a basement, or eat pasta every night. And I don't drive a Camaro.

I don't know Tony, Guiseppe or Gino from Woodbridge, Although I'm certain they're very, very hairy people.

I drink wine...not beer. I don't use utensils for pizza.

I believe in open bars at weddings, not cash.

And its pronounced ESPRESSO, not EX-PRESSO.

I can proudly fly my country's flag out of my car during the worldcup.

Gelato IS ice cream, Biscotti ARE cookies,

Antonio Columbro IS the best of the tenors,

And it's Broo-SKetta, not Broo-SHetta!!

Italy is the ONLY country shaped like footwear,

The FIRST nation of soccer, And the BEST part of Europe!!

My name is Rocco!!!

AND I AM ITALIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
