Why introduce rhymes the way it does
Introduce is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the rounded /uห/, then it ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 111 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 151, assonance 3,574, and consonance 469. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for introduce tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
