What if we went to Italy

A suitcase of books and one bag a piece for the summer

I don speak a word of Italian

Except for Campari and soda for two how much is a Lire

Yes a villa will do and a breeze in Tuscany please

What if we spent all of our days

Improving our minds learning new ways to be lazy

It wouldn be too much of a strain

Relax after breakfast till lunch comes around

Can wait for dinner oh I need to lie down

And refuel out by the pool

What if the ancients were lazy like us

Too blissed out to paint to sketch or to sculpt

Just as relaxed as the tower of Pisa

Not ever missing that old Mona Lisa

What if we never got back on the plane

As summer turned colder and then warmer again

Losing all track of the passing of years

Till it no longer mattered how long we been here

What if we went to Italy

Maybe next year just you and me for the summer

I still can speak any Italian

But words are replaced under Siennese skies

By nothing so much as a nod and a sigh

And a wish to be always like this
