Thread Name: Awkward rhymes
Subject: RE: Awkward rhymes
Sorry, can't recall the author, but it's a woman...and the lines are:

"Living your life as a warrior
Nothing will bore ya
You can be ha-a-a-a-py"

"Warrior" is, of course, pronounced "war-ya" in this case. If that isn't dreadful rhyming, I don't know what is! I got this song locked in my head one sleepless night, and it was like having a really bad toothache.

Dylan rhymed Angelina with subpoena in the song "Angelina"...it has a lot of verses, and he was running out of words ending in "ina" by late in the song. Despite this, it remains a fascinating lyric.
