Why probe rhymes the way it does
Probe is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the round /oส/, then it lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 51 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 279, assonance 3,165, and consonance 227. 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. Probe rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
