Why georgetown rhymes the way it does
Pull georgetown apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the round /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 59 matches, family rhymes 18, additive and subtractive together 147, assonance 5,474, and consonance 901. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With georgetown, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
