Watch this video, even if you think you don't care for signed performances, or for Eminem.
Now go read this article about how sign languages have rhyme and assonance.
Update - it has since been pointed out to me by a Deaf friend (who is fluent in BSL and knows a bit of ASL) that this video is pretty hard to follow, partly due to the woman's bouncing around, making it difficult to lip read. Since the hearing people I showed this to were impressed but the Deaf woman wasn't, I think that's worth pointing out.
