Why jet rhymes the way it does
The phonology of jet is a one-syllable core: the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 127 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 47, assonance 10,643, and consonance 913. 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. 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. Jet rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
