Why mice rhymes the way it does
The phonology of mice is a one-syllable core: a long-i vowel that opens the mouth (/i/), then it softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 98 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 103, assonance 2,974, and consonance 495. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Mice reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
