Literary Device:  Rhyme-Frankenstein Takes the Cake doesn't sto the rhyming on the front cover, but is used throughout.  In the passage called, "The Sphinx ain't all that-Yeah, you heard Me" it goes, "I'm just saying, the Sphinx ain't as great as she thinks.  Her Egyptian hat thing is all covered in bling, and she has a nice face, but I'll cut to the chase:  From her neck to the butt, she don't look like King Tut".  And, it goes on and on, filled with rhymes that will amuse the reader.
