Why mouth rhymes the way it does
To understand why mouth rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the /aส/ diphthong, written /aส/ โ and the ending, which tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 39, assonance 1,126, and consonance 80. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. 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. Mouth reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
