2) Rhyming words.
This is an extract from a song. There are some missing words, but you will see the
phonetic transcriptions to help you identify the words that are missing.

This Romeo is bleeding - Flood

But you can't see his / blʌd /
- Kicked up
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog / kɪkt ʌp / - Give up

It's been raining since you left me - Blood

Now I'm drowning in the / flʌd /
You see, I've always been a fighter
But without you, I / ɡɪv ʌp /
