Why tod rhymes the way it does
Tod is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษ/, then it ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 111 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 69, assonance 5,967, and consonance 1288. 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. Tod rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
