For these examples, only alliteration and slant rhyme are used. There was no usage of onomatopoeia. Corn and transport is more likely an example of slant rhyme than assonance since the last syllables sound similar. Assonance happens to between unstressed syllables and the / o / in transport belongs to the stressed syllable.
