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?
