Thread Name: Awkward rhymes
Subject: RE: Awkward rhymes
Sinsul-
Derision is nowhere near rhyme for prison
Guest Mark (and others):
Forced rhymes for obvious humorous purpose aren't awkward. LOrenz Hart, Cole Porter, Ogden Nash and Roger Miller (among many others) did this brilliantly.

My pet peeve is those who attempt to rhyme sinular wors with plurals: ie Prairies with fairy.
