Harrison, fun and woman don't rhyme. Close, but not quite.

(pronounced)
Harra-sun
fun
wo-mun

Also, scared and fair don't rhyme.

That was a forced rhyme, I know.

And the word you're looking for is "fare".

Oops

Need to include emphases for real rhymes. In accent I'm used to, emphasis isn't on the last syllable in Harrison and woman. Leads to different sound. Have you ever taken a linguistics course?

[KrazyHorse]

BTW, "women" and "Harrison" would actually be closer rhyme than "woman" is.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Have you ever taken a linguistics course?

Nope! And damned proud . Though Harrison and woman sound pretty damned close.

Yup. Easiest course I've ever taken. That includes high-school math.

Stop the Canadian content in this thread!

We can argue endlessly in other threads!

When did we adopt Imran?

Opps. Sorry, that wasn't a limerick.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ah, the easiest course I've taken is one I'm taking right now.

Called the 'Greenhouse Effect' . I mean, I'm learning some stuff, but it is just soooo simple. Oh well, covers my science requirement .

When did we adopt Imran?

I'm already an honorary Finn, am I an honorary Canuck as well?

There once was a kitten named Horse,
Was superior to most, but of course.
His plan went awry,
When Alberta did cry.
Forever he looked for the source.

[notyoueither]

There once was a lad from Calgry,
Looked East to find the great Snee.
Went by the name Asher,
More like a slasher.
At least he isn't me.

Hey! I never said I was any good at it!

[KrazyHorse]

There once was a horse called Krazy
Whose opponents' insults were hazy.
He didn't type a reply;
Here's the reason why:
He was just too goddamned lazy.

Well, you are a hockey fan so I guess we could make you an honourary Canadian. We just have to teach you how to speak with a proper accent.

Instead of Harra-sun, it's Harris-sin. Similar to "Hender-sin shoots, He scores! Canada Wins!

At least, that's how we would pronounce it in Ta-ron-no and that's all that matters in Canada.

FIREWORKS

If there's a goal that everyone remembers it was back in ol' 72
We all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger
And all I remember was sitting beside you
You said you didn't give a **** about hockey
And I never saw someone say that before
You held my hand and we walked home the long way
You were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr
Isn't it amazing anything's accomplished
When the little sensation gets in your way
Not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
Isn't it amazing you can do anything
We hung out together every single moment
Cause that's what we though married people do
Complete with the grip of artificial chaos
And believing in the country of me and you
Crisis of faith and crisis in the Kremlin
And yea we'd heard all of that before
It's wintertime, the house is solitude with options
And loosening the grip on a fake cold war
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish
When you don't let the nation get in your way
No ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
Isn't it amazing you can do anything

Next to your comrades in the national fitness program
Caught in some eternal flexed-arm hang
Droppin' to the mat in a fit of laughter
Showed no patience, tollerence or restraint

Fireworks exploding in the distance
Temporary towers soar
Fireworks emulating heaven
Til there are no stars anymore
Fireworks aiming straight at heaven
Temporary towers soar
Til there are no stars shining up in heaven
Til there are no stars anymore
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish
When the little sensation gets in your way
No ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish, eh
This one thing probably never goes away
I think this one thing is always supposed to stay
This one thing doesn't have to go away
