Some years ago, we were visiting relatives in the city of Buffalo in New York State (USA). We had never met them before, which was a pity since they turned aout to be a quite delightful couple. Apart from that, they were very interesting and interested in everything. Unfortunately, one of them has passed away.
We were travelling around New York State in a rented car when we visited my relatives in Buffalo. One day, they suggested that we went for an outing. Being much younger than them, I decided that we should all travel in our rented car. They were very mysterious about our destination. They gave me directions and i followed them. About 50 miles east of Buffalo we arrived at a neatly laid out small ‘one horse town’ and parked next to a pizzeria.
My relatives ordered one pizza. It was large enough for each of the five of us in our party to eat to our satisfaction. Of all the many pizzas I have eaten so far, this was one of the best that I can remember. I cannot rember the name of the pizzeria, but the town’s name is WARSAW.
A ring of dough
A colourful topping
It’s Italian, it’s pizza
PS after lunch at Warsaw, we continued to the nearby Letchworth State Park, which well deserves its nickname ‘The Grand Canyon of the East’

A bird in the hand
Is worth two in a bush
So wise folks say sometimes
Kensington Gardens, London

Drink a glass of lassi:
It will refresh you
In an Indian way

Computing can be very frustrating! I have decided to vent my feelings in the following haiku:
Waiting for a download
Will it work
Or am I expecting too much?

He makes street music
His mouth applied tight
To a plastic traffic cone

The beer refresh-es,
The food is mediochre:
A quaint pub in Hampstead

Keeping cars off pavements,
Lined up like soldi-ers:
Praise London’s bollards

Oh what a pleasure it is
To open a new book
And enjoy it

Stuck to the chair,
Hands and fingers sweaty:
A sultry London heatwave
