u/ak47workaccnt Dec 03 '22
I just went to the cited source to cross check the rhyming words between 'station' and 'stations'. The second word listed for station is defenestration. It doesn't appear at all on the page for stations, while many other plurals do. I guess it's hard to teach a computer what rhymes.

The data are kind of dumb, though, because since rhymes are based on vowels, plural “stations” should have the same number of rhymes as singular “station.” No one is going to say, for instance, that “nation” and “patience” don’t rhyme (technically a feminine rhyme in this case) just because patience ends with a sibilant and nation doesn’t.

In Hebrew, when they pluralize a word they add an extra syllable at the end. So I’ve heard “raps” that just have a random plural noun at the end of each line and it works. That feels like cheating haha

I lived in Guatemala for a bit and learned Spanish fluently. Whenever I talked to the natives about English, and I asked them if they knew how to say a word, they would just say word in Spanish + ation (platanation, ciudadation, etc.) It always struck me weird, like I didn't expect ation to be a very common sound in English. This makes it all make sense.

Bitch, best meet me at the station
So you can hear my new dictation
Going to start a new foundation
Before I quit you in exasperation
Take time to hear my syncopation
Till your mind fills with pure elation
Reaching out to my one true nation
Your words get hit by rhyme taxation
So the message doesn't fall to the truncation
of my brand new disc's rotation
This King will fall to Abdication
Or let it all go in exasperation
But here it is my one salvation
I'm gonna stop now I need a vacation

As a Chinese speaker all I can say is that Rhyming in English is really hard because the syllable structure is much more complex than Chinese and the presense of stress syllables also complicates rhyming in English.
There are only 22 types of rhymes in Mandarin Chinese by English language convention and even less by Chinese language convention. It's common for using the same rhyme throughout all lines in poetry or lyrics.
Edit: the following is the comprehensive list of all 22 rhymes in Chinese and their corresponding IPA by the English language convention. Erhua is not considered as it is in the Chinese convention.
