I Was So Skinny, They Gave Me The Nickname Stechetto - The Stick. I Was Tall, Thin, Ugly And Dark Like An Arab Girl. I Looked Strange. All Eyes. No Flesh On My Bones.

I Exist Only Because Inside Of Me And Above All Else I Am Only And Above All A Neapolitan. Naples Exists Inside Of Me, And Always Will. Fortunately For Me There Is This Treasure That I Have Inside Of Me And, When I Need It, Then I Pull It Out.

Is My Mother My Friend? I Would Have To Say, First Of All She Is My Mother, With A Capital 'm'; She's Something Sacred To Me. I Love Her Dearly...yes, She Is Also A Good Friend, Someone I Can Talk Openly With If I Want To.

I'm A Giraffe. I Even Walk Like A Giraffe With A Long Neck And Legs. It's A Pretty Dumb Animal, Mind You.
