| Though I find most of the Eye Rhymes fairly easy, they are still lots of fun to do. |

| Have to agree with doehead!
Where are you from, Smudge? Rest assured that in the USA these two words do NOT rhyme! As a teacher of English to foreign students, I am very interested to know how you're pronouncing them; do you know enough phonetics to explain that to me? I'll check back later for a response!! |
