If The Amy Winehouse Name Misfits: Life And Rhymes
VERY few words rhyme with Amy Winehouse.
Mouse. Louse. Grouse. Spouse. If pronounced in upper class “Wine-hARse”, the possibility for more rhymes opens up.
Or if the emphasis placed on the final ‘e’ to give Winehous-e, pretty much every word in the dictionary can be similarly altered, although the risk of sounding like Stanley Unwin is acute.
It is much the same for David Beckham and Jonny Wilkinson, for whom there are only limited rhymes. Becks offered alternatives with his “Bend It Like…” franchise and Becks nickname. Wilkinson is always Wilkinson and for such reasons has never been immortalised in rhyme, nor tight white under-kecks.
Happily, Winehouse once sang a song in which she repeated her decision not to go to rehab three times. She has now been to rehab twice, and is currently residing in the Capio Nightingale hospital, London.
The Sun looks in and sees that Winehouse is watching films - Some Like It Hot, The Misfits and the Seven Year Itch.
The headline, and with it the story is: “THEY OFFERED ME SOME FILMS IN REHAB I SAID….Monroe-roe-roe!”
Tomorrow Sun writers press F9 on their keyboards and come up with another Winehouse exclusive…
“Try to make her go to jail… yeah, yeah, yeah,” says Fergus Shanahan. “The Sun showed Amy Winehouse taking crack cocaine… So why is she allowed to slink off into cushy ‘rehab’ and escape prosecution”?
Well, it might not have been drugs and ther is only a video of the incident…
Says he: “And so long as Scotland Yard and the Government crawl to this cult of ‘celebrity’, the more decent people will be let down.”
We should look forward to the Sun posting videos and images of any one of us taking cocaine and then seeing what occurs.
And then we can count how many who get sent down complain that Winehouse made them take drugs and thanks to the Sun’s video, they knew how to…

I’m quite taken with the childish (he he) Amy Wino.
I have been told by those close by of Amy W’s generation that one has to pronounce it : Winearse!

Must be pretty quiet over at the Sun now that Amy’s in rehab, she’s a gossip industry all by herself. Anyone offering odds on her chances of success?
I’m not too hopefull myself, reminds me of a fellow I used to work with who went from very intelligent research scientist to coke user, then unemployed crack head, and finally dead person.
