The dripping blood our only drink,
The bloody flesh our only food:
In spite of which we like to think
That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood—
Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.
- East Coker
An oddity of this little fragment is that it contains a double eye-rhyme:
food,
blood and
good -
ude,
udd and... I don't know the phonetic alphabet well enough, but you see what I mean:
good rhymes with
hood,
blood rhymes with
mud and
food rhymes with
nude.
Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough
And blow it in one fiery cough
To kingdom come! More bombs! Although
One nuke's enough.
Other such non-rhymes in the comments, please.
