Why grandpa rhymes the way it does
Grandpa is built around the short /æ/ (/æ/); it's two-syllable and ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 70, assonance 6,659, and consonance 4. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Grandpa reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
