Why doorbell rhymes the way it does
Doorbell sits on the mid /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 104 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 176, assonance 9,384, and consonance 931. 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. 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. Doorbell works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
