Why addison rhymes the way it does
Addison sits on the open /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 87 matches, family rhymes 30, additive and subtractive together 155, assonance 5,663, and consonance 1467. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With addison, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
