Why tuck rhymes the way it does
To understand why tuck rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the unrounded /ส/, written /ส/ โ and the ending, which snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 60 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 60, assonance 3,202, and consonance 888. 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. Tuck is a word that benefits from the second pass.
