- habinero 2y agoNo worries, you're correct, those lines don't rhyme. It's pretty common for English poetry and songs to only rhyme every other line
- steanne 2y agothey don't. in both cases, only every other line is rhyming. hot and not, ice and nice.
- happytoexplain 2y agoTo add to the other replies, here's the English page for rhyming schemes, which calls this pattern "XAXA". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyme_scheme https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyme_scheme A more notable version of the same idea, which includes more unrhymed lines, is double dactyl (XXXA XXXA). Though this is more for poetry/limerick, and not for mnemonics.
