Good doesn't rhyme with food which doesn't rhyme with flood. You're going to need something that describes the phonetics of each word, like an open dictionary. With that, you should be able to identify which words rhyme. Rhyme is a subjective term as well. Some words "rhyme" even though they don't meet any formal definition of "rhyme," they just sound right together. But this is a lesser concern. -- Michael Morin Guide to Ruby http://ruby.about.com/ Become an About.com Guide: beaguide.about.com About.com is part of the New York Times Company
