Why docket rhymes the way it does
Docket is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษ/, then it shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 134, assonance 7,030, and consonance 323. 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. Docket works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
