Why physiology rhymes the way it does
Pull physiology apart phonetically and you get a four-syllable word with the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 81 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 6,099, and consonance 27. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Physiology works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
