Why omitting rhymes the way it does
To understand why omitting rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the clipped /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 27 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 73, assonance 12,700, and consonance 224. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Omitting rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
