• Save your wack rhymes, hold your female.
  Pass the Old Gold, trash the ale.
  Cash your food stamps, get the WIC out the mail.

  Eat a whole fish except for the tail.
  Keep food in the fridge so it don't get stale,
  And when there's nothing to eat...I bite my nails.

To cultivate voice, you must listen for the music of language-the vernacular, the syntactic tics, the cadences.
