   Just saw a wonderful thread where half the people couldn't imagine how "criss cross applesauce" could possibly rhyme and the other half were wondering how on Earth you'd say it so it *wouldn't* rhyme.

   Apparently this is a rhyme that kindergarteners in the cot-caught-merger parts of the US get told when it's time to sit cross-legged on the floor and have a little gathering.

      Makes me think of "The Lady in Red", where the songwriter wrote a text where "dance" and "romance" should obviously rhyme, but then the singer pronounces them in a way that doesn't.

      It's so funny that the writer and the singer are both Chris de Burgh.
