Interesting, Suzette. I'm guessing here but by rhyme you mean spelling and or phonetically, correct? Because my southern dialect doesn't pronounce crouch (ouch) like touch (much)

I welcome it. I'm rushing as my electric supply will go off in a few min for 4 hours due to the rolling blackouts in my country. Sorry.

Lets just go with "Eye Rhyme", if it is alright with you? Well spotted, Daniel. I'm thinking "clutch" & "touch". What do you think?
