Now THAT'S Amoré

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

yes, because “Foray” rhymes with “amoré” and “Sigourney” does not. To be acceptable (in my opinion) the verse should end on a long “a” sound and the syllable immediately preceding the long “a” should at least roughly rhyme with “door.” “Sigourney” passes the second test but fails the first - it ends in a long “e” sound.

Did I mention that ALL of yours would be disqualified, because they all end in long “e”? grin Don’t feel bad, though, because Spider himself included one like that:

A New Zealander man
With a permanent tan
That’s a Maori…

In any case, nobody’s keeping score or anything, so write whatever you like. I was just exercising my privelege as the OP to whine irritatingly because everyone isn’t playing exactly the way I want them to.

When the beer ain’t enough,
The Canuck’s in a huff,
"Pour some more…Ay!

(Sorry, Canadian didn’t fit.)

I think we did this once before Chef. Of course that’s no reason not to do it again. :smiley:

And since I think my post to that thread was better:
When the diatonic scale is the thing
that you’re starting to sing,
Thats a “doe rae”

Apologies for Sigourney - I actually thought it was pronounced with a long “a”. Sticking with the actress theme…

Once paid a big fee
Now “straight to TV”
That’s De Mornay

Bright red fez o’er their eye,
Mystic rites at the Shrine,
That’s Zamora!

(And, yes, Chef Troy, I know the ‘a’ is not long, but I don’t have a whole lot to work with upstairs, so cut me some slack!)

When French music you hear
that pleases your ear
it’s by Fauré

When my blade hits your eye
And you crumple and die,
That’s Fiore!

When I’ve disarmed your knife
It’s the end of your life.
That’s Fiore!

When your arm’s in a lock
And your head’s on the block,
That’s Fiore!

So what the hell is Fiore?

Fiore dei Liberi was an Italian fighting master who wrote a seminal treatise on defense in 1410.

In Afghani-stan,

Instead it’s a more.

Chef, I’m really, really sorry for this…

'Cause the piano’s too loud
That’s a forte.

And I steal it all

it’s not ice cream you want.
Try some sorbet.
