Orazio Aiello, a passionate fellow,
Italian’s his music, the language of song.
It’s not in his nature to belt it or bellow.
Bel canto! Andante! He never goes wrong!
(He also bakes bread that is fragrant and mellow; Palermo, his bakery, attracts a big throng.)
You might liken his voice to the sound of a cello You feel, not just hear; it’s so warm, yet so strong.
