Achebe's comment on Rhyme

[billy]

so we can't use an app to find a rhyme? does that mean we can't use a dictionary to check a word. this is the modern age we can use what tools are available to us. back in the day it was just a hammer and chisel, now they can use sanders, electric saws and whatever else has been invented. it isn't just about the rhyme, it's about the context. and while there may not be a lot to rhyme with fountain and mountain we can be creative for god's sake; countin' shoutin' poutin' we don't have to be animals of predictability. it's just shite you're spoutin'
