Why prosecute rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for prosecute starts at the vowel โ the rounded /uห/, IPA /u/ โ and ends where the line lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 167 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 239, assonance 3,047, and consonance 1834. 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. Prosecute rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
