Take Me The Way I Am

You can eat grapes off the vine,
but NOT olives off the tree.

You can speak english to Micchela
but Italian only with the clowns.

You can get out at 12:30,
but you can't go to lunch until 1.

You can scheme all you want,
but you can't dance the Manfrina without changing partners.

And no matter how you prepare yourself,
you can never guess which direction will be left when next you look.

Pronto?
