That’s really interesting. I ran it through a british tts and it sounded closer than a lot of classic poetry rhymes… Yeah, it’s not exactly the same, but it’s similar.
Run that string through an American English TTS, and you’ll see exactly how perfect it rhymes.
If you check back on this thread, I’ve posted audio of how I say it. I think it’s ‘cross’ that’s really different - US doesn’t really have that short o sound but has an ‘aw’ instead. If I say ‘criss craws applesauce’ then the intended rhyme makes itself clear.
I wanted to say something about the influence of West Indian immigrants on Bristol culture, but I don’t know enough about it to be confident of not putting my foot in my mouth. It’s an interesting place, for sure.
I (Brit) didn’t even recognise it as intended as a rhyme until I read this comment section
