Why convoy rhymes the way it does
To understand why convoy rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the rounded /ษษช/ glide, written /ษษช/ โ and the ending, which ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 41 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 189, assonance 487, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With convoy, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
