Rispetto
The rispetto lyric is generally composed of eight hendecasyllabic (11-syllable) lines. In its earliest form the rhyme scheme was usually abababcc however ababccdd is now more prominent.
As Jack Frost feathers the outside windowpane,
my silly kitty tries to scratch through the ice.
Although the glass looks like crinkled cellophane,
stop wasting your time, silly kitty; be nice.
Let's snuggle together and watch the frost form
from my bed, where it is cuddly soft, and warm.
Mom said it's okay for you to sleep with me,
but you gotta use your litter box to pee.
(Rispetto)
