Announcing Rhyme-n-Reason, a new addition to the services from the
wordserver. It is a word puzzle with a series of three progressively
harder clues with rhyming word answers. A sample puzzle is:

        1. Waterford Handgun (7, 6)
        2. Slightly intoxicated Vagabond (5, 5)
        3. What the number 3, 7, 13 or 17 might say: (2, 5)

	The numbers in parenthesis indicate the number of letters in 
	the answer word pair. For the above puzzle, answers are: 

        1. Crystal Pistol
        2. Tipsy Gypsy
        3. I'm Prime
