Why pta rhymes the way it does
Pta is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the front-and-flat /æ/, then it opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1114, assonance 5,615, and consonance 0. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for pta tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
