Why rabbi rhymes the way it does
Rabbi is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, then it opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 186 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2040, assonance 2,017, and consonance 0. 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. Rabbi rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
