Why omit rhymes the way it does
Pull omit apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 59 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 44, assonance 10,913, and consonance 907. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Omit rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
