Why coolidge rhymes the way it does
In our engine, coolidge registers as a two-syllable word on the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 4, assonance 7,088, and consonance 120. 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. Coolidge rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
