The Chianti vineyards drew me in
Away from Florence’s artistic wonder
To reflect on where I had been
And sit and ponder
A city of museums and masterpieces
Of Medici gardens and palaces
All worthy of a thesis
And definitely an analysis
So, I savour the music, the art, the wine
But how to understand and deal with it
As all in their way deserve a shine
So, I drink my Chianti and I quietly sit.
