Poetry: rhyme and rhythm, sentence 4

Rhyme depends on accent: a Glasgow boy says "'Bath' doesnae rhyme wi' 'laugh' for me, Miss" ("doesnae" is doesn't), because in Scotland and the North bath has a short a, while in much of the South of England it rhymes with laugh; and not every poem rhymes at all, while rap is poetry with a heavy beat.

Who acts: Rhyme, Glasgow boy, Bath, North bath, poem, rap · What happens: depend, say, wi, have, rhyme, not rhyme · To what, where: a, Scotland, much, all, poetry · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Poetry: rhyme and rhythm» of the english course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Rhyme, Glasgow boy, Bath, North bath), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
