Giada and the Royals

“Giada and the Royals”
By Wayne Gagnon
(for Giada De Laurentiis)

Giada, Giada…
…please cook for the Prince
He’s playing some polo…
…(and) there’s food you must mince

Giada, Giada…
…the Princess needs lunch
She’s watching the ponies…
…(she) needs something to munch

Giada, Giada…
…crostini, so bright
Your guests, they will rave…
…(at) this toasted delight

Giada, Giada…
…chopped salad with shrimp
The Princess is looking…
…(take) a moment to primp

Giada, Giada…
…Chicken Milanese
The Royals will love it…
…(and) applaud (your) expertise

Giada, Giada…
…the Prince will be late
He’s playing a match…
…please save him a plate

Giada, Giada…
…your best you have shown
(a) Taste of California…
…for the heir to the Throne

Note:  This poem and picture are being used by Womentorz (www.womentorz.com) and Mommy Perks (www.mommyperks.com).  These two groups teamed up to celebrate “the honor Giada De Laurentiis has been given as the celebrity chef for the royal couple at The Foundation Polo Challenge.”

The hand-drawn picture and the poem (hand-typed on Wayne’s manual Smith Corona) have been combined into a greeting card.  This card will be delivered directly to Ms. De Laurentiis as part of a Celeb Hoopla gift pack given to her by these Womentors and Mommy Perks.

For more information on their efforts, go Mommy Perks and Womentorz.  Thank you Erika, from Tutu Pour Mon Deux, for letting me tag along for this wild ride.

Editorial UPDATE: This poem was written based on an earlier menu press release. And, it was thought that the Prince was going to miss the meal because of a polo match. I’d rather not change things now.
