| poetry lyrics:/ Identity rhymes are proscribed/ (In my verses you'll find them described)./ For this lexical bible/ An amply large bribe'll/ Help get them, flaws bypassed, inscribed. |
Authors' Note: Of course, the concept that bribes would be of benefit to authors submitting to OEDILF is patently nonsensical. There are a certain number of identity rhymes that appear in the database of edited verses there. The prosaic explanation, however, is that these bypassed initial glitches, being rather subtle in comparison with other flaws, are often under-observed and overlooked.
