An inquiry from an acquaintance - what about lyrics?

Drunkirish writes to Frish: A while back u edited my story "the end" ive recently got into writing lyrics maby u can give me some pointers...
Dear Drunkirish:
Find a good RHYMING DICTIONARY and a THESARUS.
Think of what you want to write about, find a few fun words that rhyme or are alliterative and go to town (city, burg, village, urban spawl, etc.) (brown, pity, iceberg, pillage, suburban mall, etc.)

Pick a meter, that's why writing haiku is good practice, since you have to be strict in the word choice  (5 syllables, 7 then 5 again).

A town without pity  (that's a 6 count)
Brown pall over city
Move out from Urban Sprawl
Trade in for shopping mall!

lyrics are fun, hope that helped.
