OT - Front Row; Rotten Rhymes

While I was away last week I caught the edition of Front Row on which
they nominated the five best and five worst rhymes in popular music -
see <http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/arts/frontrow/rotten_rhymes.shtml>
for the nominees.

As someone who had written in to suggest one of the shortlisted
candidates, can I encourage you all to vote that this is the worst
rhyming couplet ever perpetrated:

> Wild dogs cry out in the night, hoping for some solitary company
> I know that I must do what's right, as sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.

On the good rhyming front I am torn between ABC:

> Like the Phoenix coming back from the ashes, (uh-huh)
> I know what's good, but I know what trash is.

And Burt Bacharach:

> What do you get when you kiss a guy
> You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
> After you do, he'll never phone ya

Vote early and vote often.

Into my heart an air that kills from yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills, what spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went and cannot come again.
