writing pet peeve

I'm not if this counts or not, but I hate, hate, hate, hate like I hate sickness, when songwriters rhyme "girl" and "world." To me, that just screams "hack". Granted Tom Waits has done it, Loretta Lynn and I'm sure a host of other great songwriters, but man does it get to me...

For one thing, it's a cliche, but the main problem is, it doesn't rhyme!

  1. In your mind when you hear the rhyme change the word world to whirl. Might not make sense but it will rhyme.
