I noticed in the top 20 rhymes there were 4 false or near rhymes. Wow, if 1/5 of the most popular rhymes are not true rhymes, then I feel so much better about some of my failed attempts at lyrical perfection.

I find it interesting how they could measure the rise and fall in the use of specific rhymes; that a rhyme couplet comes and goes. Thanks for sharing Joanne
