What's in a Name

Rose Tattoo

Rose
By another name
Yeah right
Got it
Been there
Done that but
Rose Tattoo
Mangiacavallo
Eat a Horse
Yikes
What a handle
Brute of a buffoon
Descended from
Village idiot
Back in Sicily
Grandmother tripped
In it slipped
Out came
Italian stallion
Body of Adonis
Face of a clown
The widow
Serafina Delle Rose
Smells so sweet
In a swoon
Crooned
Spread instead
For the fool
Filling her
Empty bed
