Why squat rhymes the way it does
Squat is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the centred /ษ/, then it snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 62 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 6,691, and consonance 997. 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 the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Squat is a word that benefits from the second pass.
