@Smithy said: “Thenon-rhyme I was alluding to was a single-jingle: "We're usually in a hurry when we drive through Missouri". The way I was raised, that sentence would have rhymed with itself. I've learned the error of my upbringing since moving to theMidwest. In order to make it rhyme with the Missourians' pronunciation of their state, it would have to be "We'reusually in a hurra when we pass through Missoura".“

 

I got it! ‘Missouri’ and ‘hurry’ rhyme just fine for us! Hubby is native born Missourian and we were both raised in St. Louis. ‘Missoura’ is another way to pronounce it, but not where we were raised. 😁
