Regras
Shakespeare escreveu seus sonetos dentro de uma disciplina rigorosa,
quatorze linhas de pentâmetro iâmbico, rimando em três quadras e um dístico.
Seus sonetos estavam aborrecidos?
Mozart escreveu suas sonatas dentro de uma disciplina igualmente rígida - exposição, desenvolvimento e recapitulação.
Eles estavam sem graça?
Na vida e nos negócios
a única regra que se pode quebrar
é aquela de que a maioria, não é nº 1

CLERIHEW REVIEW
Sir Isaac Newton
Though genetically close to an Orang Utan
With his larger cranial cavity
He discovered the law of gravity
Atilla the Hun
Was a man who liked innocent fun
After a day of rape and pillage
He played cricket for his village
King William the Conqueror
Breeding not from the very top drawer
Put that with the deeds of a dastard
He was known as Bill the Bastard
Julius Caesar
Was a really imperious geezer
Though he headed for a fall
You must admit he had the Gaul
King of France: Louis Quatorze
Loved to dress in silky drawers
When asked “Do you feel that’s alright?”
He said: ”Yes, when they’re pulled up tight”

COPLA QUATORZE : This Bad Guy World
Bad Guys all bind stand together
Engender their kind forever:
Love each other
Good Guys think alone they matter
When Bad Guys approach they scatter:
Get run over
Countries get ruled by both the guys
But Bad Guys push for unjust wars:
Peoples’ bodies
Media people make the most noise
Decide – for the People – sans mores:
Wars boost countries
