Go for it! Start a new game thread and I'll be there, rhyming dictionary in hand.  Okey dokey then, let's go! We will start with a General one. Blind Justice A is for ABC, the lead character is blind and cannot see B is for C is for D is for Dunbar, hope Christie's shoes are made of rebar (I started with A, but had to get my D in!) |

I hope I'm doing this right! Me too! (no screencaps, right?) Blind Justice A is for ABC, the lead character is blind and cannot see B is for the Blond dude, who grabbed our attention. C is for Criminals, being held in detention. D is for Dunbar, hope Christie's shoes are made of rebar E is for Jim's Eyes, as pretty as the bluest skies. |

Uh . . . um . . . er . . . I think somewhere along the way the concept of internal rhyming -- a rhyme within the line and not just at the end of the line -- has been somewhat lost in the mist.
Okay, here's an example and pardon me for quoting Steven Sondheim, who is only [ahem] a genius. The lyrics are from the song "Could I Leave You" from Follies, which is a wonderful example of internal rhymes, highlighted in Bold:
Leave you, leave you, how could I leave you?
How could I go it alone?
Putting thoughts of you aside in the South of France
Would I think of suicide -- darling, shall we dance?
Sweetheart, lover, could I recover?
Give up the joys I have known?
Not to fetch your pills again, every day at five --
Not to give those dinners for ten elderly men from the U. N. --
How could I survive?
Well, you get the idea. A, D, and E work, however.

I was just thinking of rhyming the word before the comma with the last word, like Kathy did. If people can do multiple internal rhymes, that's wonderful! But I think it would too hard to rhyme two lines together as well, like your example with aside and suicide. |

Blind Justice A is for ABC, the lead character is blind and cannot see B is for the Blond dude, who grabbed our attention. C is for Criminals, being held in detention. D is for Dunbar, hope Christie's shoes are made of rebar E is for Jim's Eyes, as pretty as the bluest skies. F is for Fisk, he would let his team take a risk. |

This is all I could rhyme.
H is for Hank, he is for seeing
I is for Investigating, one of Hank's reason for being.

Carl skipped over "G", so I will do it.  Blind Justice A is for ABC, the lead character is blind and cannot see B is for the Blond dude, who grabbed our attention. C is for Criminals, being held in detention. D is for Dunbar, hope Christie's shoes are made of rebar E is for Jim's Eyes, as pretty as the bluest skies. F is for Fisk, he would let his team take a risk. G is for Dr. Galloway. He enjoyed the music of Cab Calloway. And here are Carl's H and I: H is for Hank, he is for seeing I is for Investigating, one of Hank's reason for being. |

J is for Jim, many would underestimate him K is for Karen, with Jim she was pairin'. I hope I got it right this time...and forgive my use of slang, its hard to think of anything to rhyme with Ms. Bettencourt's given name. |

I'll try again when I get a better understanding of this. You know me, I always try. Later, Carl |

I think I have it figured. If I would have said:
H is for Hank, a pat on his head is a good enough thanks.
Am I now getting it?
Later, Carl
