Why rob rhymes the way it does
The phonology of rob is a one-syllable core: the short /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 79 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 78, assonance 4,967, and consonance 232. 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. Rob rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
