Why getty rhymes the way it does
To understand why getty rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the high /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 86, assonance 10,775, and consonance 8. 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. Getty pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
