You’ll remember that line from the “Drive Safely” government sponsored advert if you’re from the UK and of a certain vintage. And you’ll probably remember it because of the footage of people crashing and being badly hurt in car accidents. It was a successful scare tactic to get us to put our seat belts on in the car, in the days when it was common for people not to do so.

And you’ll also remember it because of the rhyme. In fact, if anything the rhyme is more memorable.

So if you want ‘em to singalong
To your song
Make it rhyme.
It’s not a crime.


And that, ladies and gentleman, is how you turn a blog about rhyming into a car crash.
