Why infant rhymes the way it does
To understand why infant rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — a low-front /æ/, written /æ/ — and the ending, which lands on the nasal-into-stop combo. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 65, assonance 12,979, and consonance 1. 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. 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. Infant rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
