Two Franks



Broads
Birds

Booze
Stigmata

Fedora on a tilt
Zucchetto

Trench coat in the rain
belt of rope

Francis Albert
Giovanni

Rat Pack
Lepers

Rapt bobbysoxers
Forest dwellers converted

Old Blue Eyes
Old brown cowl

My Way
The Way.

Witchcraft
Grace

The Mob
The Church

Friars Club
Friars Minor

Voice like an angel
true saint.

Rags to riches
Riches to rags

Hoboken
Assisi

Italian
Italian
