Basic Trope: A word tries to "rhyme" with the same word.
- Straight: Alice is writing a poem, and it ends in "What an adventure that we will have today! I wonder what else will happen today."
- Exaggerated: The whole poem goes "We are sitting together now. We are eating our breakfast now. What an adventure we will have today! I wonder what else will happen today."
- Downplayed: Alice rhymes "today" with "day".
- Justified: Alice is not a very good poet.
- Inverted: Alice rhymes every word with an antonym of that word.
- Subverted: Alice rewrites the poem to get rid of the rhyming with itself.
- Double Subverted: The rewrite has another instance of Rhyming With Itself.
- Parodied:
- Alice counts saying the same word (a word she randomly picked, which is unrelated to the sentence) at the end of every sentence as a rhyme.
- Every rhyme in Alice's poem involves the exact same word. In fact, every rhyme in Alice's entire body of work involves the exact same word.
- Zig Zagged: Alice is trying to think of a rhyme, and ponders whether rhyming with the same word counts.
- Averted: Alice doesn't rhyme a word with itself.
- Enforced: It was a proper rhyme in the original language, but in English they had to choose between this or going for something that would really ruin the rhyme.
- Lampshaded: "That's not a proper rhyme!"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Not all poems rhyme.
- Discussed: "You can't get away with just rhyming 'now' with 'now' and 'today' with 'today'!"
- Conversed: "These writers better think up better rhymes than just rhyming with the same word."
- Played For Drama: An evil villain threatens Alice to think up of a rhyme, or he will kill her.
