Why plot rhymes the way it does
In our engine, plot registers as a one-syllable word on the open /ษ/ (/ษ/) that shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 62 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 6,691, and consonance 997. 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. 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. Plot rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
