I haven't even been a list member for a year yet - don't even own a Masi - but all this talk is really taking a toll on me.
My apologies in advance to any of Dean Martin's surviving family members, and to any list members who are prone to take things seriously.
"That's a Masi" (roughly to the tune of "That's Amore")
When some steel flashes by, And it catches my eye, That’s a Masi. When the paint is quite thin, But the ride makes me grin, That’s a Masi.
The champ’s tube reads “Peugeot”, But I know it’s not so, It’s a Masi. Whether Simpson or Merckx, Top pro’s all had their quirks, They rode Masi.
If they won a big race, I can see on their face, It’s a Masi. Let’s go back through the books, We’ll all take second looks, For a Masi.
See the boss on that tube, Do you think I’m a Rube? That’s a Masi. I can sound rather smug, When I say “Check the lug. That’s a Masi”.
Koppi rolls into Brest, On a frame that’s celeste, I say “Masi”. Raas wins on his Team Pro, But I say it’s not so – It’s a Masi.
Ignore those curly stays, See that bright orange blaze, That’s a Masi. That Colnago’s a fake, Just compare the fork rake, That’s a Masi.
Greg LeMond gave a thrill, His Gitane was a shill, It’s a Masi. And when Lance took the stand, My response sounded canned, “See? A Masi”.
When man went to the moon, I went into in a swoon, For their Masi. Will Schumaker be next? His car just a pretext? “No it’s Masi”.
It is so out of hand, There is no other brand, Only Masi. Orange, red, black or blue, My heart’s steadfastly true, To my Masi.
But I think I need help, So the next time I yelp, About Masi. Go ahead, be a pain, Verify that I’m sane, …I’ll say “grazie”.
Hope you all kept out of trouble on Mother's Day.
