Here is a thought perverse, one could make his appearance even worse, give him a Habsburg Jaw, his visage would create awe, and could truly be seen as a curse.

/// This ancestor of Ridgemont’s Spicoli
also sought “perfect waves”— (something holy).
Not to surf, to be fair,
these are waves in his hair,
and in class he would eat ravioli.

We’re getting a lot o’ Lorenzo this week!
I checked out Fast Times at Ridgemont High on imdb, and yeah, this does indeed resemble Sean Penn’s Jeff Spicoli.

No painter could possibly render/
A portrayal more touching, more tender/
Than “Lorenzo the Peerless”/
(He was utterly fearless !)/
Of a Renaissance “gender-bender”.

Broccardo Malchiostro, in this portrait, chose
A stiff, pompous (to our modern eyes) pose.
And here five hundred years hence, more or less,
We tend to mock him on ‘That is Priceless’
Oh, vain young man, whom L. Lotto thus froze!

I still wear black and white checkered VANS. Although sadly they’re no longer made in California, but in SE Asia.

Although he has conniption fits, about breaking out in zits, do you suppose, he is happy with that nose? Girls rate his appearance the pits!
