On the bus coming home from work tonight American Pie was playing on the radio.  I was struck the the rhyme between door step and more step.  At first I thought it was a cop out rhyming step with itself and then I realized he was treading the two words (compound?) as one/  And then I realized I had this same issue with Billy Joel's rhyme - "these are the times to hold on to, but we won't although we'll want to."  At first I thought rhyming to with itself was cheap and then a friend argued that rhyming want to with on to was clever.  Thoughts, oh myriad readers?

Don't take for granted that a husband and wife tell each other things when you want them to and don't take for granted that they don't tell each other things when you don't want them to.
