I Hereby Declare...

...that, from this point henceforth, any songwriter who rhymes "girl" with "world" shall be placed under arrest and locked into a harshly lit cell -- with nothing but a rhyming dictionary -- for a duration of three weeks.

I admit I've done it myself (albeit in the distant past), and for that I am duly shameful.

Even Chaka does it on her new album....

Sigh.

************************

For your consideration, here are some other perfectly good words that rhyme with "girl":

whirl
whorl
furl
unfurl
squirrel
curl
pearl
hurl

and so on...

Let's make the WORLD a better place.
