Why kodak rhymes the way it does
Kodak is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the flat /æ/, then it lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 66 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 114, assonance 6,519, and consonance 643. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Kodak pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
