Madame your pretty game I shall pursue First let me check I understand aright: The loser’s champion, when the game is through Shall pen a sonnet of the winner’s might? Are Shakespeare, Spenser or Italian meet? Or don’t you care, so long as it doth scan? (Though if the French do Mexico defeat I’d hope for poésie Alexandrian!) Well then, let’s wager Sunday’s Brazil game ‘gainst Cote d’Ivoire; methinks Brazil will win Though losing to the champions is no shame I’m hoping Drogba’s putting great goals in. Et si Les Eléphants sont formidables Your praise of them must be redoubtable!

The loser’s champion, when the game is through
Shall pen a sonnet of the winner’s might?
Are Shakespeare, Spenser or Italian meet?
Or don’t you care, so long as it doth scan?
(Though if the French do Mexico defeat
I’d hope for poésie Alexandrian!)
Well then, let’s wager Sunday’s Brazil game
‘gainst Cote d’Ivoire; methinks Brazil will win
Though losing to the champions is no shame
I’m hoping Drogba’s putting great goals in.
Et si Les Eléphants sont formidables
Your praise of them must be redoubtable!
