Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! - Part 58
Hi SharonA I've read a lot of instruction on songwriting in the last year.

There is much debate about rhyming.

There are near rhymes and perfect rhymes. I guess it is usually better to use perfect rhymes but sometimes a near rhyme can have more impact because it is unexpected. A perfect example of that is the song you parodied. When I first heard the song rhyming freezes with Jesus is quite unexpected and funny. It lets you know right away you are listening to comedy and lets you chuckle through the rest of the song. But why am I telling YOU this? I've seen you use this technique to good effect in quite a few of your songs. Keep up the good work!!
