Nothing rhymes with "step"

As a reference always keep the option of false rhymes in mind.

Not just close rhymes like "step/skip" but manipulations like stretching the word over the metric lines, as a musical phrase might be stretched over measure lines.

It's a great device often used for comic effect.

 

"I couldn't find a rhyme for step

I thought that I'd become inept

in fact I became skept-

-ical

that I'd find one accept-

-able.

Then my friend John gave me a tip

that, I must say, seems kinda hep:

when in doubt, who needs thes-

-aurus?

The answer's often right be-

-fore us...

throw your mind's window open and

take inspiration by the hand."
