Why rabbit rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for rabbit starts at the vowel — the clipped /ɪ/, IPA /ɪ/ — and ends where the line closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 56, assonance 6,664, and consonance 34. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Rabbit rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
