Why domino rhymes the way it does
Domino is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษ/, then it ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 107, assonance 6,543, and consonance 106. 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. Domino rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
