Why griffith rhymes the way it does
Griffith is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the clipped /ษช/, then it trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 0, assonance 7,036, and consonance 46. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Griffith rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
