In my version of English (and I sound as if I could get a job with the BBC's World Service most of the time ) Rickshaw and Singapore rhyme... obviously the scansion is different.....

A is for Abercombie of Rohan, who fell off the catwalk trying to impersonate The Phantom of the Opera

Blimey Gil-Galad, that rhyme is what I call throwing down the gauntlet. Here goes:

B is for Bethberry, whose essay on classical myth gave mortal offence to the goddess Hera.

(Btw - the original gashlycrumb tinies were in rhyming couplets, so perhaps we could allow C to be a new rhyme...)

(**Announcement**. PLEASE! Keep on topic, I would like as much as everyone else like to see this thread continue, but If it is abused we lose it. Thank you. And also, thanks to those who continued the ryhmes in the great turmoil of nonsense that could be made into PM's. This was not meant to be harsh, just advisable!)
