Why brownie rhymes the way it does
Pull brownie apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the long /iห/ (/iห/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 39, assonance 3,290, and consonance 937. 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. Brownie rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
