The Institute Of Inane Research Discovers DANTE's SISTER

________________________________________________________________________________________________


—the world-famous poet—
who wrote
had a sister who was
a most unsuccessful poet
 
Donte Alighieri
did, however, 
give her brother the idea
to use only his first name
 
Donte Alighieri
had an ego
bigger than the Colosseum
and a voice loud enough
to be heard
throughout 
the Roman Empire
 
She insisted her poetry
contain exactly
4/5ths of her name
 
Below is a sample
of her verse:
 
DON'T DO THIS, 
DON'T DO THAT
EAT THIS BREAD
WEAR THAT HAT

  1. I always thought Dante's sibling was named "Svaacheen."

    1. Supposedly, she changed that name
      because it sounded too Native American.

      Coincidentally, "Svaacheen" is a word
      my Grandmother taught me
      when I was 11 months old
