You don't have to go *that* far (*shudder*). To make rhyming fairly easy, what you need is to not have too many different vowels in stressed syllables. English and French have far too many, which is what makes them painful to rhyme. (Old French was much better; so is Spanish.) -- With techies, I've generally found John Cowan If your arguments lose the first round http://www.reutershealth.com Make it rhyme, make it scan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Then you generally can jcowan@reutershealth.com Make the same stupid point seem profound! --Jonathan Robie
