Okay, so I gave this a shot:Is this where I try to make a Limerick about Stella?
In Leuven lived a girl named StellaG
Go for it.
Good one! Considering it's not exactly easy finding something that rhymes with Stella.In Leuven lived a girl named Stella
She married a Brazilian fella
the wor-ld of beer
they conquered through fear
And now keep it all locked in their cellar
I didn't say it would be good.
It was getting the ambev/inbev références in there that was the challenge. (Artois would have been an even more difficult Rhyme)Good one! Considering it's not exactly easy finding something that rhymes with Stella.
Yeah, no kidding.It was getting the ambev/inbev références in there that was the challenge. (Artois would have been an even more difficult Rhyme)

Good one! Tarantella really works with Stella, too.There was a young woman named Stella
Who took everywhere her umbrella
In the heat of the day
She threw her clothes all away
And danced, in the nude, tarantella
I'm sorry to say it doesn't (Artois is pronounced Artwah)Yeah, no kidding.
Okay, challenge met:
A townsman named Johnny Artois
Decided he liked what he saw
When he looked up the dress
Of the town call girl Bess
And spied not a muff but a paw!
Nothing to do with beer, but at least it rhymes.
Yeah. But if you rent a microscope, you can see a lot of interesting shit. "The world in a grain of sand . . ." I'd just say, some puddles are siltier than others.Searching for depth in porn is kinda like renting a submarine to investigate a puddle. Stjepan Sejic
Picky, picky, picky. Actually I do know how to pronounce Stella Artois. I thought since we had both attempted to rhyme Stella with words like cellar and yeller, that saw and paw weren't too much of a stretch to rhyme with Artois, especially since I wrote it pretty quickly!I'm sorry to say it doesn't (Artois is pronounced Artwah)
There was a blonde named Stella Artois
She had a certain je ne sais quoi
I wanted a taste
but it was a waste
She was nothing but headache so "Bwah!"
(In my student days Stella had a reputation of giving you a headache, well more than the other beers).
It's pronounced Artoys in English Law French, as in 'oterfoyz' acquit/convict, but I'm not sure that makes it rhym either.Picky, picky, picky. Actually I do know how to pronounce Stella Artois.

I just checked and if you look up the brand online, the Belgian brewery pronounces it two ways: a shorter sounding Artoi, and also Artwah, where the last part is more dragged out, which is a closer rhyme to saw and paw.It's pronounced Artoys in English Law French, as in 'oterfoyz' acquit/convict, but I'm not sure that makes it rhym either.
This has me wondering where my Law French dictionary is now.

I'll give you the point on cellar, butPicky, picky, picky. Actually I do know how to pronounce Stella Artois.

I'll give you the point on cellar, but
paw is pronounced (in British English (RP)) as /pɔː/
and
Artois is pronounced (in French) as /aʁ.twa/
and so to my ears the rhyme between /wa/ and /ɔː/ didn't work, they're rather far apart as sounds go.
Now both can be pronounced with a sound more like /(w)ɑ/ and then I admit it could work.
But that's the risk of rhyming between languages, one of which is notorious for being differently pronounced in different countries and regions and having no real 'official' pronunciation.
