Why aging rhymes the way it does
Aging is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the clipped /ษช/, then it trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 164, assonance 5,898, and consonance 37. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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 aging, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
