Why mission rhymes the way it does
The phonology of mission is a two-syllable core: the short /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 111 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 10,413, and consonance 842. 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. Mission pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
