Many poems follow some sort of rhyme scheme—AABBA, ABAB etc. This is generally an end rhyme; the rhyming words come at the end of each successive line. Generally the rhyme ends up even, and each line is a complete phrase, if not a complete sentence. And then... there are these. If you write out the poem or lyrics in lines, they will rhyme... so long as you cut words between two lines. Or three, but that would get silly. Tends to overlap with a Least Rhymable Word, as a way of getting around it (without "chilver" or "doorhinge"). Please note that the word has to be completed for this to work. Otherwise it's an abbreviation, a Curse Cut Short, or a Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion. This is the extreme form of what is technically known as "enjambment," spreading a phrase or sentence over two lines instead of fitting each thought to its own line. Examples |

The song "Marley and Marley" from The Muppet Christmas Carol rhymes "greed" with "needy", "black" with "shackles", and in a cut verse, "part" with "heartless". Since this happens once a verse, it was probably done for artistic purposes. | |

Happens often in Hamilton, though it's usually not obvious because, as is common in rap, the structure tends to be pretty flexible and there are a lot of internal rhymes. One example from "Alexander Hamilton": Another from "My Shot": And then one from "Satisfied": And from "Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)": |

South Park quotes a playground rhyme that combines this with some Inverted Curse Cut Short. Snippet: South Park's version, however, is much naughtier than the original playground song. Specifically, mention is made of "cont-aminated water." |
