sad to warn

cheated when least expecting

so loved the Rossetto glassworks

in Venice we visited in December

but only five of the six

glasses i ordered came in the box

they refuse to admit error

say six were confirmed

though they do not state

how they know

adamant

end of story

so now all i can do is warn others

do see their marvelous factory

and store, but whatever you buy

take with you

he’s all talk

 senryu

his gutter, moral

he loathes poverty’s milieu

cheats you with his words
