Why bargain rhymes the way it does
To understand why bargain rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ a front-of-the-mouth /eษช/, written /eษช/ โ and the ending, which rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 156, assonance 7,172, and consonance 2. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Bargain is a word that benefits from the second pass.
