Sil’s 36 Mil Bill

(I don’t normally play fast and loose with the stress of words as I have done here with “alimony”, but the rhyme was otherwise irresistible. And of course, “billionaire” needs the full four syllables.)

The billionaire Berlusconi/

Is hardly what you would call stony/

But 36 mil/

Is quite a big bill/

To pay someone in ali-mony.
