Why firewood rhymes the way it does
Firewood is built around the rounded /uห/ (/uห/); it's three-syllable and ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 166, assonance 3,072, and consonance 10. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Firewood pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
