Why honeymoon rhymes the way it does
The phonology of honeymoon is a three-syllable core: a back /uห/ (/uห/), then it trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 41, assonance 4,285, and consonance 10. 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. 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. Honeymoon is a word that benefits from the second pass.
