Why disposal rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for disposal starts at the vowel — the flat /æ/, IPA /æ/ — and ends where the line trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 219, assonance 6,463, and consonance 45. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Disposal works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
