How songwriters use these rhymes

Why bosh rhymes the way it does
Bosh is built around the round /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's one-syllable and tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 23 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 42, assonance 5,468, and consonance 161. 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. 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. Bosh is a word that benefits from the second pass.
