Why placenta rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for placenta starts at the vowel — the short /æ/, IPA /æ/ — and ends where the line ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 185, assonance 12,510, and consonance 307. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. 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. Placenta rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
