Mind rhyme

src: dliprecords.com

Mind rhyme is a suggestion of an unspoken rhyme and must be inferred by the listener. Mind rhymes can be achieved either by short stops, or by replacing the expected word with another (which may have the same rhyme or not). Tempting rhyme is the use of the mind rhyme as a satire, in which the unspoken word is taboo or complete the sentence indelic.

For example, in the context of cheerleading:

Raa Raa REE! Kick them on their knees! Raa Raa RASS! Kick them on the other knee! "

The poem is often a form of word play. Implicit Rima is only acceptable from its context. This contrasts with the rhyming slang from which the rhyming section has been cut, which is part of the lexicon. (An example is dog , meaning "foot", clipping of rhymes dog meat .)

Example

Traditional examples:

There is a young farmer who takes a young miss

to the back of the cage where he gave him a lecture

The expected word is kiss , which rhyme with miss ; Humor comes from an unexpected incident lecture , both of which damage poetry and change the story.

Alan Bold describes the twentieth-century anonymous bawy poetry of the "Brighton Pier" as "probably the best of the poems of various nasty poems". The extract will illustrate this technique:

A very hot day in the summer of last year

A young man is seen swimming around the Brighton Pier;

He dived under it and swam to rock

And amused all the women by shaking hers

Boxing in a copper stand on the beach,

The same copper who stole him before.

In order for the police to order it out is a joke,

For the young, dubious gentleman it just shows him

An elegant maneuver and great speed...

"Something You Can Do with Your Finger" from South Park uses enjambment to replace taboo words with non-taboo phrases with the same initial syllables. Eg dirt & gt; shih-tzu and meat & gt; meetings , in the following fragments, each starting a new sentence instead of completing the old one:

I do not want my breakfast, because it tastes like -

Shih Tzus make nice housepets, they are cuddly and sweet,

Monkeys are not good to have, because they love to beat them -

Meet at the office, [...]

Similarly, the rhythm of Miss Suzie's childhood ends each part with what sounds like a taboo word, only to continue with a more innocent word.

Miss Suzie has a steamboat,

steamboat has a bell,

Miss Suzie goes to heaven,

steamboat goes to

Hello operator

please give me the number nine [...]

Another example is 1985 Bowser & amp; Blue Polka-Dot Undies , which begins:

I went on my pickup truck

I took my girl, 'cuz I want

Show him my gloves, 'cuz he's in his mitt

And I blush when he shows me

The perfume he bought every time Avon called,

So I took off my pants, and I showed him my

Polka-dot undies!

My polka-dot undies!

History

Tempting rhymes have been popular since the 17th century. Although quite rare in canonical literature, examples of poems can be found in William Shakespeare's work, Emily Dickinson, Marianne Moore and others. In his Lewis Carroll Tis the Voice of the Lobster, it is generally assumed that the last words of the interrupted verse can be given by the reader as "- eating owls".
