10 things that doesn't rhyme with 'lisp'

We all know writing prose is a cumbersome, perspiration-inducing and pointless exercise that should only be attempted when a) drunk, b) in love or c) when there's nothing on telly, you haven't eaten for days and the lack of visual stimuli and sustenance leads you to believe that Gaulois-puffin', beret-sporting intellectual beatsters who give a shit about poetry actually exist and should be fed morsels of rhyme from the pool of prosaic malnourishment.
For all other occasions, here's a list of ten things that doesn't rhyme with the word 'lisp' (accompanied by a picture of a French marine for no particular reason):
1. abrasive;
2. kennel;
3. 37
4. didactic;
5. booklet;
6. the Gothenburg principle;
7. plausible;
8. the sound of a thousand beaks rattling in a Morrison's bag;
9. mustard;
10. the fight for Flemish interdependence, 1876-1875
