Why friday rhymes the way it does
Pull friday apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with a long-a that lifts the line (/eษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 138 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1175, assonance 3,626, and consonance 0. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Friday is a word that benefits from the second pass.
