Otherwise,
if a crooked man walked a crooked mile he wouldnt rhyme....

There was a crooked man
Who walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked six pence
Against a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat
Who caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together
in a crooked little house.

Lots of this rhyme doesn't rhyme.
Man + Pence.

Cat + Together.

Well, I say lots, but some.

Having said that, "stile" is the correct spelling. Hence the derived "turnstile".
