Why amish rhymes the way it does
Amish is built around the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's two-syllable and spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 4, assonance 7,397, and consonance 151. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Amish rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
