Some people like sentimental/cloying, others not. As for the rhyme "rocks"/"walks", it's called a "sprung" rhyme - matching final consonents, such as "cough"/"lough". I like honey, me... :-) |

02 Jan 12 - 03:09 PM (#3283604) Subject: RE: G Papavgeris: 'When She Is Smiling' From: Jeri Don't want to microscopically analyze the rhyming. I think one has to be trying hard to find something they don't like to have a problem with "walks" and "rocks". If I don't notice it accidentally, it doesn't matter to me. Then what can, do. Them what can't, bitch. (The "teaching" is for those who can do and can explain it so others can too.) |

"Sitting in the larm lah, Waiting for my ya ya - agh agh" You can usually get away with approximate rhymes. Good song, George, and I'm sure appreciated by the good lady. |

He was advertising some sort of weight reduction product in a magazine & promised a return to this sylph-like weight by faithful use of the product. sandra (who once was a sylph-like 11 stone) Happy New Year to you & Vanessa & wishing you many more great songs |
