Why rangoon rhymes the way it does
Rangoon is built around the deep /uห/ (/uห/); it's two-syllable and rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 50 matches, family rhymes 28, additive and subtractive together 175, assonance 3,461, and consonance 925. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Rangoon works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
