Remember, Remember, The Italian For Room Is Stanza comical poem 582 by Angela Lansbury

English has many words which rhyme and

So they're were easy to remember

For example, months September

November and last December


Maria's name rhymes with Rosa

They've more rhymes than us here

They went to the trattoria

For their carriera, career


They both saw a handsome waiter

But he was a double dater

With one either side on the tavolo

But could he pay for the trio?


Mario had no denario

Held in his small duo mano

So he could get no credito

To pay for the big bigletto


How do I recall that room is stanza

Poem parts, ottava rima

Think of them hearing Mario Lanza

Add pictures, that's a bonanza.



Mario played the piano

Maria played the piano

And Rosa played the piano

The trio put on a good show


Let's reverse it, stanaza's a room

A tiny womb, or a huge tomb

An Italian meeting room

An online room with faces on Zoom


Mario was a dilletante

But the favourite of his zio

Maria's Did owned the ristorante

And paid for them all, the hero


Let's end on a happy nota

They sang a joyful sonata

The segretaria wrote a lettera

All said let's do this ancora.
