Why ditch rhymes the way it does
Ditch is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, then it ends on an affricate snap. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 24 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 11, assonance 6,628, and consonance 128. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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 ditch, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
