'nothing Rhymes With Angel'-Webster's

“Nothing Rhymes with Angel”  ~Merriam-Webster, Encyclopedia Britannica~


Nothing Rhymes with angel…

Ocean shell, barnacle, pink coral
Choir bell, temple, chapel, steeple
People 
Climb Mt. Caramel, smell a fresh timber fell
Drink 80 proof swill’
Throw a coin in the wishing wellllllll
At a seventy-five degree angle
Lift a 200-pound barbell

Marvel

Tickle, popsicle, dreamsicle, apple strudel, ice-cycle, classical 

Able
Ample


Us….We are Cyclical


Hah, darn dictionary!


                                                  Sunshine Williams

So much for Webster! Canyon is another word for which few rhymes are, though there are a number of slant rhymes. Thanks for reading my dog poem. / M
