Why piping rhymes the way it does
The phonology of piping is a two-syllable core: the short /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 12 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 106, assonance 3,094, and consonance 106. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Piping pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
