Why trucking rhymes the way it does
Trucking is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the clipped /ษช/, then it trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 23 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 57, assonance 4,561, and consonance 129. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Trucking is a word that benefits from the second pass.
