THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi II

Besides, you didn't leave a hanging rhyme - which was rather a shame.
I suppose one shouldn't expect too much from a smelly Milanista.

[vtec]

then you must begrudge the same of your fellow romanista

most of you suckas can't even remember your last scudetto
(and i don't think that will change under di benedetto)

[maro]

Don't get mad, Mr Milanista,
just because i pounded your sweet little sister
so powerfully i left her with a clitoral blister.

Tancredi has been with the club in this role before, of course, so it's not quite as with Voeller that we're taking the same chances.

[DonSimon]

I have never heard
Anything so farcical
In all of my life.

[maro]

Very good, DS, though I suspect Davit's conception of poetry revolves around rhyme. For the syllabic forms I suspect he has rather less time, to be honest. I wonder if after signing up Tancredi we'll actually get a 'keeper for him to coach - or is that being a little too greedy?

[Lupa]

The rumours are wasting my time
As is finding a way to write rhyme
I'm a little too tired
to feel much inspired
By news that falls short of sublime

[maro]

Was that an attempt at half-rhyme, Fonz?

The Sensi era is officially over after President Rosella quit the Roma Board of Directors. “From now on, I’ll just focus on motherhood.”

American investor Thomas Di Benedetto and his colleagues have bought out the club, although the official paperwork will not go through for another couple of weeks.

Rosella Sensi took over the Presidency when her father, Franco, passed away in 2008.

“My first thoughts go to my father, who wanted to make Roma great and his results speak for themselves,” she noted.

“The report that the new stadium is to be named after him is a wonderful dream. We have prepared an innovative project and hope all this hard work wasn’t in vain.

“I thank the fans, because they have always been close to me, and wish the new owners every success.

“From now on I’ll just focus on motherhood.”

The Sensi family have owned Roma since 1993. Rosella gave birth to a daughter in March 2009.

Are you suggesting Will's iambic five-footers don't rhyme?

[DavidP]

[maro]

Well, you could have done. This is in the five-footers, I think, and without too much rhyme in evidence:
She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

[DavidP]

I remember some of will's stuff rhyming in r&j, and that was written in iambic pantameter, if i'm not wrong. i could pull up an example but i'm lazy so that will wait.
