Why midas rhymes the way it does
To understand why midas rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the short /æ/, written /æ/ — and the ending, which trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 39 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 6,599, and consonance 499. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With midas, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
