Poets (and lyricists), if you must rhyme, the following combinations are forbidden:

* yearn / spurn / burn
* love / dove
* people / steeple (Yes, I know there is nothing else that rhymes with people. You will need to rephrase.)
* baby / maybe

There may be others. The committee for the prevention of trite banality will make regular announcements. Thank you.
