Why bailout rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for bailout starts at the vowel โ the descending /aส/, IPA /aส/ โ and ends where the line shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 92 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 98, assonance 3,005, and consonance 1780. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Bailout works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
