Why crochet rhymes the way it does
Crochet sits on the centred /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 137 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1175, assonance 3,626, 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. 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. Crochet rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
