Why patriotic rhymes the way it does
Pull patriotic apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 23 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 7,029, and consonance 140. 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. 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. Patriotic rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
