Why cicero rhymes the way it does
Cicero is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's three-syllable and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 265 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1225, assonance 1,936, and consonance 0. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Cicero is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
