Why undue rhymes the way it does
In our engine, undue registers as a two-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) that leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 135 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 708, assonance 1,925, and consonance 0. 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. Undue rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
