Why soap rhymes the way it does
To understand why soap rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the long /oส/, written /oส/ โ and the ending, which lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 51 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 294, assonance 3,158, and consonance 522. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for soap tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
