Why rinse rhymes the way it does
Pull rinse apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the high /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 26 matches, family rhymes 28, additive and subtractive together 70, assonance 12,159, and consonance 162. 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. Rinse rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
